Amteck Invests in the Future Workforce with New Exhibit at Kentucky Science Center

[Lexington, KY – April 24th, 2026] — Amteck is excited to announce the opening of its interactive exhibit at the Kentucky Science Center, designed to introduce students and families to careers in the electrical trade and the opportunities that come with them.  

The exhibit reflects Amteck’s long-term commitment to developing the next generation of skilled tradespeople.  

The skilled trades workforce has declined significantly over the past two decades, influenced by perceptions that college degrees are the primary pathway to successful careers. Amteck is addressing that gap by promoting the electrical trade as a viable, rewarding career with strong earning potential and long-term growth opportunities.  

“Knowledge is a core part of the Amteck Way,” said Corey Bard, President of Amteck, “This exhibit is about opening doors—giving young people real exposure to what a career in the electrical trade can look like and helping them see a future they may not have considered before.” 

The exhibit features five interactive sections designed to engage and educate visitors: 

• Tools of the Trade – A look at the equipment electricians use every day  

• How It Works – A hands-on experience focused on understanding electrical systems  

• Real Stories – Video profiles highlighting individuals working in the trade  

• The Pathway – Information on apprenticeships, career progression, and debt-free education opportunities  

• Future Roles – A visual experience showcasing the range of careers within the electrical field  

Visitors will gain a clearer understanding of how the trade operates, the skills involved, and the long-term opportunities available. 

The exhibit is designed to make the electrical trade feel accessible. By combining hands-on interaction with real-world insight, Amteck aims to replace outdated perceptions with a more accurate picture—one that reflects the complexity, innovation, and opportunity within the field. 

Individuals interested in exploring a career in the electrical trade or learning more about Amteck’s apprenticeship opportunities can visit https://www.amteck.com/apprenticeship/ for additional information on training, career paths, and how to get started.
