12 Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. SEMCA HOSTS 2021 CRAFT CHAMPIONSHIP Associated Builders and Contractors Southeastern Michigan and Southeast Michigan Construction Academy recently hosted the 2021 Craft Championship— an impressive contest featuring nine of SEMCA’s finest electrical students. This year’s champion was third-year student Chance Krul who works for Family Heating, Cooling & Electrical and currently studies under SEMCA instructor Leonard Brantley. “Our competitors represent the top of our electrical students,” said Deanna Morley, SEMCA’s Vice President of Education. “To be considered for the competition, students had to pass a rigorous written exam. During the hands-on performance, their skills were really put to the test.” Students were given eight hours to complete a complex electrical project using the blueprints given, all while under the watchful eyes of judges and spectators. “We’re so proud of our students for their commitment to their craft, and for their willingness to put forth the tremendous time and effort required for the competition. It was a fantastic showcase of their knowledge and skills,” Morley continued. John Danic, SEMCA instructor and manager of the Craft Championship, shares a feeling of pride toward the competitors.
