 The
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) was
established in 1891 and is now the world’s largest
electrical union. In partnership with the National
Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), NECA and IBEW
have established apprenticeship and training programs to
serve the electrical industry in the U.S. and Canada.
Apprenticeship programs are offered for Inside Wiremen,
Lineman, Residential Wiremen and Low Energy / Sound and
Communication Technicians. These electrical workers install,
maintain and repair electrical systems in compliance with
state, national and local electrical code.
NECA / IBEW
apprenticeship programs provide opportunities to “earn while
you learn,” through paid on-the-job training, along with
classroom instruction. Applicants must be at least 18 years
of age and have a high school diploma or equivalent.
Applicants must also meet Algebra/Basic Math requirements,
which may vary depending on the program applied for. Minimum
scores on aptitude tests may be required depending on the
program applied for.
NECA / IBEW
training centers provide classes for journey level
electrical workers to maintain their state certifications as
well as to keep up with current technology advances and code
changes.
