PITTSBURGH, June 16, 2026 /3BL/ - Wesco, through its Wesco Cares program and in partnership with its Women’s Impact Network (WIN) Business Resource Group, is proud to support the next generation of women pursuing careers in the electrical and skilled trades through the IEC Foundation EmpowerHer Scholarship program.

This year, 15 scholarships were awarded helping expand access to education and training opportunities across the industry. The scholarships will support students across a range of educational pathways, including two-year colleges and four-year universities, providing critical resources to help them advance their academic and professional goals. Award recipients were formally notified through scholarship letters issued by the IEC Foundation, reinforcing the program’s shared commitment to expanding opportunity and access within the electrical and systems contracting industries.

As the demand for skilled trades continues to grow, initiatives like EmpowerHer play an important role in supporting women entering and advancing in these fields, where they have historically been underrepresented. By investing in education, training, and career pathways, the program helps remove barriers and create more opportunities for women to build sustainable, rewarding careers in the industry.

“The EmpowerHer Scholarship reflects our commitment to building a more inclusive talent pipeline and supporting women at every stage of their career journey,” said Wesco Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, Chris Wolf. “Through Wesco Cares and the leadership of our WIN BRG, we are proud to partner with organizations like the IEC Foundation to create meaningful, lasting impact.”

The IEC Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing education and workforce development in the electrical and systems contracting industries, administers the program and supports students in achieving their educational goals.

Through initiatives like EmpowerHer, Wesco Cares continues to invest in programs that strengthen communities, support workforce development, and empower individuals to succeed in high-demand careers.
