The Electrical Apprenticeship Advantage - How to Become an Apprentice Electrician

What is apprenticeship?
Apprenticeship is a training program where you earn wages while you learn a skilled profession in a specific field, such as construction.
Apprenticeship combines classroom studies with on-the-job training supervised by a trade professional. Much like a college education, it takes several years to become fully trained as an electrician.
Unlike college though, as an apprentice you’ll earn while you learn. At first, you’ll make less money than skilled workers, but as you progress, you’ll get regular raises.
Once you’ve mastered the craft, you’ll receive the same wages as a professional.

Advancement potential
Apprenticeship graduates usually advance more rapidly than other workers, so higher-paying jobs come more quickly. Some apprentices move into
supervisory positions within just a few years.
Equal Opportunity Apprenticeship Programs must provide equal opportunity to all who are interested. These programs are eager for qualified women and minority applicants.


Valuable skills credential
When you complete your apprenticeship, you’ll receive a graduation certificate valid anywhere in the U.S. that demonstrates you have the knowledge and skills needed for successful performance as a professional in the electrical occupation.

The Division of Apprenticeship Standards states that Electrician Certification may be required in your area. Contact your local apprenticeship office for more details.

* These figures may change depending on your location and position.
