Past Apprentices: Let’s Celebrate Alumni Success
The success of Walton’s apprenticeship program is best measured by the accomplishments of our alumni. Many of our past apprentices have grown into skilled professionals, leading projects, managing teams, and contributing to the continued growth of Walton & Company.
Take, for example, Hunter Sterner and Gabriel Muniz, who recently completed their HVAC apprenticeships through ABC Keystone. Their journey from apprentices to fully qualified professionals demonstrates the dedication, discipline, and hard work that Walton’s program cultivates. These alumni are not just technicians—they are ambassadors of the values and work ethic that define Walton & Company.
But the success story doesn’t stop with them. Our President, Jason Hamme, is a prime example of the potential that lies within the apprenticeship program. 28 years ago, Jason started his career as a plumbing apprentice at Walton & Company. He understands firsthand the value of combining on-the-job training with classroom learning, and his journey is a powerful testament to the program’s long-term impact.
After completing his apprenticeship, Jason moved up the ranks and into the role of project manager, where he spent many years managing large, complex projects, leading teams, and ensuring the successful delivery of services to our customers. His experience as a project manager gave him invaluable insight into the inner workings of Walton & Company and the construction industry. Through hard work and dedication, Jason eventually rose to the position of president, where he now leads the company with the same commitment to quality and excellence that he learned as an apprentice.
Jason’s story not only celebrates the success of Walton’s apprenticeships but also highlights the potential for growth within our company—where an apprentice can eventually lead an entire organization. His leadership today continues to inspire and empower the next generation of apprentices.
