Shannon Henry
I am Shannon Henry a Tulalip Tribal member, and also a past graduate of the TCTP (TERO Construction Training Program). After graduating I applied to the IBEW (International Brothers of Electric Workers) and became the assistant for the TCTP. Once I was accepted into the IBEW I stopped working for TCTP, and logged 700-800 hours toward second year. I then came back to work for TCTP and am working here currently. Speaking as someone with just there GED, I have not ran across many opportunities that I could pursue. So had be given the opportunity I am just trying to help others learn and follow through the same opportunity.
