Investing in the next
generation of the trade.

Squamish gave Aikam its start. We give back by opening doors for the next generation of electricians — through education, hands-on training, and real opportunity.

Innovation

We don't just wire buildings.
We think about what's next.

The electrical trade is changing faster than it ever has — EV infrastructure, smart home integration, net-zero building standards, solar-ready construction. Aikam stays ahead of it because we have to. Our clients are building the future of the Sea to Sky corridor and they need a contractor who understands where the industry is going.

From Lutron lighting systems to EV energy management infrastructure on 70-unit developments, we invest in knowing the newest systems, the newest codes, and the newest materials — so every project we deliver is built to last.

Annual Initiative

The Aikam Electrical Scholarship

Each year, Aikam awards one scholarship to a student in the Sea to Sky corridor pursuing a career in the electrical trade or a related technical field. We believe access to education shouldn't depend on your starting point.

The scholarship is open annually. Recipients are chosen based on commitment to the trade, community involvement, and financial need. No minimum grades required — we're looking for drive, not perfection.

Eligibility criteria
Resident of Squamish or the Sea to Sky corridor
Enrolled or accepted into an electrical or trades program

Short written application — no formal essay required
Applications open each spring — follow us on LinkedIn

Hands-On Training

One Month. Real Job Sites. Real Skills.

For students seriously considering a career in electrical work, Aikam offers an optional one-month training placement. You'll work alongside our licensed team on real projects — not in a classroom.

This isn't a formal apprenticeship — it's a chance to see if the trade is right for you before you commit. You'll learn how a job site runs, how electrical systems are planned and installed, and what it takes to do this at a professional level.
