Student Spotlight & Success Stories
We are proud to celebrate the hard work and success of our students and apprentices.
Congratulations Joshua Shank!
We’re proud to celebrate Joshua Shank, a second-year apprentice at IEC Greater San Antonio and an IEC Foundation Scholarship recipient who continues to seize every opportunity.
After receiving support from the IEC Foundation, Joshua explored additional opportunities featured on our Scholarship Resource Page, which led to him earning two major awards: the Mike Rowe Works Scholarship—a prestigious award supporting individuals pursuing careers in the skilled trades—and the Home Depot Path to Pro Scholarship, which helps individuals gain the skills needed for high-demand careers.
Joshua’s initiative and dedication to his future career exemplify the mission of the IEC Foundation, and we can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next!
