NORWALK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 9, 2026--

HomeServe announced today the recipients of its second annual Apprentice and Training Grant Program, continuing the company’s commitment to strengthening the skilled trades workforce and supporting the next generation of trade professionals across North America.

Building on the success of the inaugural program launched in 2025, HomeServe again awarded grants to 20 contractor companies within its network to support apprentice training and employee upskilling initiatives. The program is part of HomeServe’s broader effort to address ongoing workforce shortages in the plumbing, HVAC, electrical and other essential home services trades.

“At HomeServe, we see firsthand how critical skilled trades professionals are to our business and to the communities we serve,” said Tom Rusin, CEO of HomeServe. “After seeing the impact of this program in its first year, we are proud to continue investing in contractor training programs that help grow, retain and develop skilled workers.”

Recipients were selected through a competitive application process that evaluated proposed training initiatives, anticipated impact on workforce development and long-term benefits for employees and apprentices. Grant funding will be used to expand hands-on training, offset education costs, improve onboarding programs and create additional pathways into the skilled trades.

The Grant Program is a key component of HomeServe’s skilled trades initiative, which focuses on promoting sustainable careers, improving access to training and ensuring contractor partners are equipped to meet rising demand for home services. HomeServe currently partners with nearly 3,000 vetted local contractors nationwide.

The following companies were selected as 2026 grant recipients:

One of this year’s recipients, AP Electrical Service, shared how the grant will support their workforce.

“We can't wait to participate in this program,” said Allen Page, owner of AP Electrical. “Our apprentices are excited to get started on the next step in their apprenticeship program, and this grant will definitely help make this happen.”

Another 2026 grant recipient, Lediar Electric Solutions, expressed excitement about their plans to use the funds. “I am very grateful for this opportunity, and I look forward to using these funds to continue growing my business, investing in training and expanding my team,” Raidel Luna, owner of Lediar Electric Solutions, shared.

By continuing this program for a second year, HomeServe reinforces its long-term commitment to supporting the skilled trades workforce and investing in the people who keep homes running safely and efficiently across the country.
