When Geri Harston was in grammar school, she would watch the electricians install lights on the streets. She looked at it and believed it was something she could do. She had an opportunity to sign up for the journeyman apprenticeship program. She went through the program and worked in the field for 11 years then was called back to teach at the apprenticeship program.
