How Old-School Apprenticeship is Shaping Our Future
- Bob Friar, Jr.
- Chula Vista Electric
As an Evergreen® Company, we cherish our independence, our flexibility, and our autonomy. It might, therefore, seem obvious that a partnership with such a structured and bureaucratic organization as a trade union is something we would take great pains to avoid. In fact, the opposite is true.
Chula Vista Electric started in 1925. Like many successful 97 year old companies, we have learned how to react to our environment and adapt as we grow. CVE started as an appliance retail store. As people bought appliances, they needed electricity in their homes to power these devices; this spawned our electrical division, which has been the company’s focus ever since.
