Transitioning from the classroom into the actual workplace is exciting. As you begin your on-the-job training you can expect to start with the basics. Just hang in there — it quickly gets a lot more technical than that. The wide range of skills you learn on the job as part of your apprenticeship and training program will include:.
Your on-the-job training will take place in a wide variety of settings, which will have a significant bearing on what you learn. Examples of different locations include:.
Your classroom-based and on-the-job training is divided into relevant segments that will eventually cover all of the important knowledge and skills you need to pass the journeyman examination. Our union was founded in by a group of electricians who wanted a safer workplace, fair wages and, in general, respect for the service they rendered their communities through their labors.
In there were no training programs, no safety regulations, no medical plans, no pension or retirement plans, and nearly half of all electricians were being killed on the job. Because the IBEW nourished the needs of these workers, it has grown from a handful of pioneers to the largest electrical union in the world. The IBEW is made up of working men and women, in the electrical industry, committed to bettering themselves and the industry.
The work is performed in existing or new residential, commercial and industrial buildings and includes street and highway lighting, traffic signal and other outdoor above and below grade installations. The trade requires considerable physical effort on the part of the apprentice to do lifting, climbing, crouching, and working in cramped areas.
As an employee and union member you will be afforded excellent medical and dental coverage as well as savings and pension plan benefits.
Program Typically during the term of your apprenticeship you will work hours on the job for a five year program with various electrical contractors. In addition, you will attend school for hours during the five 5 year period. Wages start at a percentage of full journeyman pay and increase in increments through graduation to full pay.
