Jordan Jolicoeur – 2018 YIE Award

Jordan Jolicoeur has proud Métis roots originating from the Interlake Region of Manitoba. Carvel Electric, founded by Jordan’s father Sylvio in 1997, had Jordan and his older brother Joel working evenings and weekends learning the electrical trade. Jordan, always an entrepreneur at heart, has a passion for business. In 2013 he decided to take over the family company after working throughout the province in many industrial and commercial settings. Handed down an old pickup truck, a bag of tools and a vision, Joel and Jordan, together, have grown Carvel Electric from a small residential service company to working with some of North America’s largest Railroads and Pipeline Companies. Together they pride themselves on building connections, creating community, and are guided by the strong values of a “handshake approach” to business. Carvel Electric has a vision to become a leader in Aboriginal employment and skills development.
