Terms of Apprenticeship The Wireperson Apprenticeship Program consists of 10,000 hours (approximately 5 years) of on-the-job training supplemented by 800 hours of related classroom instruction.

Electricians must be able to climb and work from ladders and scaffolds of various heights. They must be able to crawl and work in confined spaces such as attics, manholes and crawl spaces. Electricians must be able to read, hear and understand instructions and warnings. They must know how to read a blueprint, measure, cut and assemble. Electricians also do a lot of lifting, bending, squatting, lay-outs, testing of electrical systems, install and repair and work on high-rise decks laying conduit wires. Recruitment Process Upon the need of apprentices, open recruitment is held for approximately two weeks. Advertisements are published in various daily newspapers in the state.

This eligibility listing is kept for a period of two years. It is from this list that applicants are selected to be indentured as an apprentice, should the need for more apprentices arise. |
