(November 2023 \u2013 IDEAL Electrical\u2122 is celebrating the newest winner of the<br>2023 IDEAL\u00ae National Championship and $40,000 cash prize as Jose Renteria, an electrical<br>apprentice from Elk River, Minnesota, took home top honors in this year\u2019s competition. The eighth<br>annual super-charged competition invited 10 of the top qualifying electrical apprentices from<br>around the country to compete at the Elite Trades Championship Series in Tampa on Friday, Oct. 27. This year\u2019s IDEAL National Championship event required apprentices to complete two scoped<br>projects evaluated for accuracy, workmanship and safety. Projects covered an exterior service<br>installation and a workplace electrical buildout including a sign, downlights, and an electric vehicle<br>charger.<br>     Renteria, who currently works for Muska Electric in Minneapolis, Minn, is soon planning to take<br>the state test to become a licensed electrician and continue to the master electrician test. The<br>brand-new dad also hopes to open an electrical shop of his own one day.<br>     \u201cMy approach to the competition was to do it right the \ufb01rst time and forget about the time. I<br>wanted my work to look good and professional. It was still stressful and fun at the same time,\u201d said<br>Renteria. \u201cBeing an electrician is a good-paying career and I still get to go home to spend time with<br>family and friends. I also appreciate that I can work on my own at home and apply my ideas to<br>personal projects.\u201d<br>     This year\u2019s IDEAL National Championship theme of \u201cWiring Better Futures\u201d honors the emerging<br>apprentice talent and the impact this generation of tradespeople will have on the industry.<br>According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. currently needs about 80,000 new<br>electricians every year and more than 1 million more electricians to meet the nation\u2019s goals as a<br>massive shift to electri\ufb01cation continues.<br>     \u201cThe wiring for the electri\ufb01cation of North America and beyond is truly in the hands of current and future apprentices. We already know how rewarding it can be to work in the skilled trades, and<br>this competition gives thousands of curious students a close-up look at what goes into a typical<br>day. It\u2019s equally important for them to see how committed master electricians are to mentoring<br>apprentices and giving back,\u201d said Carmen Cardillo, General Manager of IDEAL Electrical, North<br>America. \u201cJose\u2019s ability to prioritize quality, safety and workmanship in these workplace projects<br>that had to be completed during a truncated high-stakes challenge is impressive &#8211; and he still<br>completed the work. This goes to show how valuable our emerging apprentice talent will be to our<br>communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     HGTV star Chip Wade and PBS\u2019s Scott Caron emceed the event. Each electrical apprentice was<br>paired with one of \ufb01ve professional electricians and former IDEAL National Championship<br>competitors Greg Anliker, Noreen Buckley, Tom Kennedy, Anthony Kovalchick and Roman<br>Ryszewski. The top 10 \ufb01nalists earned their spot by completing a rough-in electrical wiring<br>challenge at one of four 2023 regional trade shows.<br>     The top \ufb01ve \ufb01nalists in the student challenge included:<br>\u25cf Emma Becker, Denver, N.C.<br>\u25cf Devin Slifer, Greenup, Ky.<br>\u25cf Jose Renteria, Elk River, Minn.<br>\u25cf Jake Tribby, Beaver, Oh.<br>\u25cf Dino Gualandri, LaSalle, Ill.<br><strong>Assets:<\/strong> Photos are available here.<br><strong>Final Results:<\/strong><br>\u25cf 1st Place ($40,000) &#8211; Jose Renteria (Elk River, Minn.)<br>\u25cf 2nd Place ($20,000) &#8211; Dino Gualandri (LaSalle, Ill.)<br>\u25cf 3rd Place ($10,000) &#8211; Devin Slifer (Greenup, Ky.)<br>Competitors also were the \ufb01rst to use new IDEAL Electrical products, including:<br>\u25cf 15-Foot Fish Tape: A small, easy-to-use \ufb01sh tape that\u2019s great for quick wire-pulling jobs like<br>remodels and DIY installs.<br>\u25cf <strong>Yellow 77 \u00ae Aerosol Lubricant:<\/strong> One of the most popular wire-pulling lubricants available to<br>electricians now becomes easier than ever to apply.
