Economics major named 'Champion Apprentice'

Alex Pecoraro, a junior international economics major at Appalachian State University, has been recognized as the 2024 ApprenticeshipNH Champion Apprentice for consistently going above and beyond and showing a dedication and drive that inspires others. 

During the November 2024 ApprenticeshipNH Summit, he was one of workforce development in New Hampshire.

Pecoraro has served as an apprentice at Evari, a venture-backed, clean-tech company commercializing a next-generation compressor that aims to accelerate the transition to renewable energy.

“This honor is a testament to Alex’s exceptional dedication, hard work, and commitment to his role here at Evari,” said Kirsten Colantino, an employee at Evari. “Everyone at Evari is incredibly proud of his accomplishments.”

The ApprenticeshipNH program, coordinated by the Community College System of New Hampshire, aims to address the state’s workforce needs by connecting individuals with hands-on training opportunities and industry-specific education.
