PowerChampions has announced a new strategic partnership with the American Skilled Trades Academy (ASTA), bringing together two organizations committed to strengthening the future of the skilled trades workforce. The partnership is focused on expanding access to practical training, workforce development, and long-term career pathways for professionals in critical power and related technical industries.
As demand continues to grow for backup power systems, electrical infrastructure, and mission-critical service providers, PowerChampions and ASTA are working together to help prepare the next generation of skilled trades professionals. Through hands-on education, technical workshops, continuing education, and leadership development, the partnership will support both new technicians entering the field and experienced professionals looking to advance their careers.
A key focus of the collaboration is developing what ASTA calls “Thinking Technicians” — skilled professionals who can troubleshoot complex systems, adapt to changing technology, and make confident decisions in the field. Together, PowerChampions and ASTA aim to elevate the trades, create meaningful career opportunities, and invest in the people who keep critical infrastructure powered and protected.
