Seven years of bouncing from job to job left James Minasian wondering if he’d ever find where he belonged. Today, he’s the 2026 IBEW Hour Power Apprentice of the Year. In this video, meet James Minasian of IBEW Local 40, a fourth-year apprentice working under the Motion Picture Agreement at Paramount Studios. Hear how the IBEW gave him purpose, stability, and the opportunity to build a future he once thought was out of reach. From becoming a respected member of the Brotherhood to buying his first home and preparing to welcome a baby boy with his wife, James’ story is a reminder of what can happen when hard work meets opportunity. Congratulations to the 2026 IBEW Hour Power Apprentice of the Year, James Minasian.
