Apprenticeship is a well-organized and supervised training method we use to enable people with little or no prior knowledge of the electrical trade to become qualified journey-level electrical workers. It is an "earn while you learn program" meaning you will work full time and go to school.
Career Description The Sound and Communications Installer Program requires physical effort on the part of the apprentice to accomplish ladder and scaffold climbing, pulling, crawling, crouching, working in cramped and confined quarters, and lifting 25-to-50-pound objects on a fairly consistent basis. The Sound and Communication Installer uses many and varied hand and power tools to install low voltage wiring, fixtures, devices, and electrical apparatus within commercial, industrial, and residential buildings. Apprentices must also possess the ability to read, hear, and understand written and spoken instructions and warnings in English, and closely follow specific instructions and warnings, especially safety directions and warnings. We Are Selective A good candidate is an individual who excelled in school, demonstrates reliability, possesses a sincere desire to succeed, has a positive attitude and a desire to work hard. The electrical construction trade is an occupation requiring a high level of knowledge and skill. We are extremely proud of our track record of helping candidates who enter our program become successful, qualified journey-level electrical workers. What Benefits Do I Gain if I Am Accepted?
