FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA, February 2, 2022 – Hypower, a dedicated supporter of HANDY (Helping Abused Neglected Disadvantaged Youth), hosted another cool workshop to teach the community’s youth about the electrical field as a future career path.
Peter Weisberg, Field operations Manager at Hypower, the main host of the gathering, accommodated over 30 kids was excited to share, “We hope we showed these kids a career opportunity that sparks interest. They really seemed to enjoy it, and we had a great time as well”. 
Hypower’s interest in HANDY is rooted in the belief that all youth have potential and the ability to succeed and prosper with the right opportunities and support. Hypower wholly supports and believes in the mission of the foundation, to achieve positive, lasting change for youth by providing skills, education, and a supportive community. Apart from being partners of the charity, Hypower was delighted at the opportunity to spark the interest of a potential future engineer. The company collaborated with HANDY to create an educational and interactive learning environment, teaching the program’s youth several different electrical projects, such as putting together their own assemblies.
“We are very fortunate to be able to share our time and career paths with these kids in order to help guide them into a lasting career in the construction industry or any other they choose. We are proud to be able to provide a platform for HANDY’s youth to do so”, said Hypower’s Quality Assurance Manager, Rob Weisberg.
For over 30 years, HANDY has helped Broward’s abused, neglected, and disadvantaged youth by providing the care and education they need to transition into successful adults. Hypower is one of the main sponsors of HANDY’s various initiatives. As part of HANDY’s “Resume for Life” implementation, they dedicate their Thursdays to exposing the youth to the different career opportunities available in their direct community.
“It was fun to see the kids learn and gain confidence as we did this workshop with them. At first most of them were hesitant and unsure since they didn’t know what they were exactly doing, but then they gained confidence and began to take ownership of whatever their task was! I hope they take the experience to heart!”, commented Jonathan Heaner, Prefabrication Manager at Hypower.
