Heath Anderson joined the Wester Electrical Contractors Association to take on their Outreach and Workforce Development for their Arizona expansion. There he works with contractors, education institutions, and community partners to develop talent pipelines and career opportunities in the Arizona construction Industry. Prior to WECA, he worked for more than ten years for Maricopa County Workforce Development. There he connected employers and job seekers in every occupation and industry serving Arizona. In that time, it was the skilled trades such as construction and manufacturing that became his focus due to their long-term reliability and transferability for workers which led him to his work today. In the years leading up to this he had two decades in business development representing clients such as Master foods and Merc Pharmaceuticals in large format retail such as Walmart, Kroger, Safeway, and Albertsons. He holds a bachelor’s degree in human resources and a master’s degree in education design along with several post master’s certificates such as AAED’s AZED Pro. Arizona is his home of 42 years and continues to look for ways to support our community.
