wvARC was born from over five decades of lived experience—spanning trades, industry, education, and ethical consulting. Founded by William Valedis, whose career began as an electrical apprentice and evolved through controls, automation, education, and strategy, wvARC is more than a consultancy. It’s a philosophy in practice.
Our mission is to re-humanize vocational transitions by grounding them in ethical reflection, personal dignity, and practical wisdom. We work with students, parents, educators, and organizations to navigate change not as disruption, but as opportunity. Whether you’re stepping into your first career, shifting midstream, or guiding others through uncertainty, wvARC offers tools, dialogue, and frameworks that honor the complexity of real lives.
My 55-year journey has taught me that transitions are never just logistical—they’re emotional, relational, and deeply personal. That’s why wvARC doesn’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. We listen. We reflect. We build ethical pathways forward
