Electrical Apprenticeships

Apprenticeship training has long been recognized as the best and most efficient method of producing skilled craftsmen and women to fill the industrial needs of our expanding economy. While apprenticeship is historical, it is also progressive and has been consistently improved by the joint labor/management concept of training. Each program is sponsored jointly by the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW).

Apprenticeship Requirements

  • Minimum age 18.
  • Must be a high school graduate or the equivalent.
  • Must have completed one full year of high school algebra with a minimum grade of "C," or the equivalent; or one semester of college algebra with a minimum grade of "C" or the equivalent.
  • Applicants must be physically able to perform the work of the trade.
  • Qualifying score on an Aptitude Test.
  • Applicant must have a valid California Driver's License at the time of indenture.
  • Each local JATC may have additional requirements specific to their area.
  • Applications must be submitted to your local JATC.

What Do Electrical Workers Do?

  • Inside Wiremen - install the power, lighting, controls and other electrical equipment in commercial and industrial buildings.
  • VDV Installer Technicians - install circuits and equipment for telephones, computer networks, video distribution systems, security and access control systems and other low voltage systems.
  • Outside Linemen - install the distribution and transmission lines that move power from the plant to a factory, a business, or home.
  • Residential Wiremen - specialize in installing all the electrical systems in single-family and multi-family houses or dwellings.

Earn While You Learn

Our programs allow students to train and earn an income while going to school, eliminating the worry of student loan debt. These wages are a portion of the skilled wage rate that increases throughout the training program.

Blended Learning

Students learn and practice all phases of the occupation in real-world applications and classroom training. Programs are approved by the Division of Apprenticeship Standards for the State of California and the Department of Labor Office of Apprenticeship. Safety is a top priority and our state of the art electrical and construction safety programs are designed for a safe workplace for all.

Expert Teachers

Many of our instructors are experts in their field. They’re all eager to bring you up to speed in current practices through hands-on learning, and lecture based instruction.

Master Plan for Career Education

The leaders of California’s education and workforce agencies–working with students, families, adult learners, workers, employers, labor, and community-based organizations–have developed a set of big ideas for creating more equitable access to living wage, fulfilling work. During 2024, Californians will have an opportunity to weigh in on how to translate those ideas into concrete actions.

This collaborative effort will result in a Master Plan for Career Education.

During March and April, more than 1,300 people signed up to participate in interactive, in-person design sessions that were held across the state to inform the Master Plan on Career Education. Another 400 will join our virtual design session on May 15. The input from these sessions will be summarized and posted by the end of May.

The Governor’s Office will convene five constituency groups who are charged with validating ideas that were generated through the public engagement process, identifying missing topics and red flags, and providing input to the Career Education Master Plan Task Force on the proposed solutions.

Students & Families

Tk-12 and postsecondary educators, adult education & workforce development training providers, labor & employers, advocates and policy-makers, nominations are accepted until june 21st, and will be announced publicly in july. there is no compensation for serving on the constituency group..

Serving on the constituency group will require: – Attending two 90-minute virtual meetings in September and October – Reviewing draft solutions that will inform policy and practice reforms – Reviewing summary input to the Master Plan Task Force on proposed solutions

On January 24th, 2024, the Governor’s Office hosted a webinar kicking off the Master Plan for Career Education process. Watch the recording of the webinar to learn more about the core concepts framing the conversation, ways to get involved across California and more. 

The Master Plan for Career Education will address the pain points that have made it challenging for Californians to learn–and get credit for– the skills they need for rewarding, living wage work.

Please read the  Master Plan Core Concepts Summary  below for additional details. This ambitious effort is focused on identifying possible solutions in four key areas:

Creating state and regional coordinating bodies that make it easier to access information, funding, and support

Creating incentives and improve coordination so that more people can participate in hands-on learning

Aligning TK-12, postsecondary, and workforce training opportunities so it is easier to build skills in a variety of settings

Making it easier to access public benefits so that learners can afford to participate in education and training; and improve universal access

Share your recommendations or invite representatives of the planning effort to meet with your community or organization to exchange ideas

A Potential Path Forward for Pell Grant Expansion

Proponents of controversial legislation to expand the Pell Grant to short-term workforce training programs want to attach it to a defense bill that Congress must pass. A House committee will determine whether the gambit works.

Bipartisan legislation to expand the Pell Grant to workforce training programs that run between eight and 14 weeks could move forward this week, months after the bill’s sponsors pulled it off the House floor at the last minute before a vote.

Now sponsors of the Bipartisan Workforce Pell Act are trying to attach the bill as an amendment to a national security and military bill that must pass before the end of the year. It’s one of more than 1,300 proposed amendments on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2025, which could receive a floor vote this week. But it’s unclear whether the House Rules Committee will consider the Pell Grant expansion relevant to the bill when it meets Tuesday to decide on which amendments are greenlighted. Even if the amendment gets the go-ahead and passes the House, it will face a difficult road in the Senate, which has a different bill expanding the Pell Grant, which provides federal financial aid to low-income students.

The legislation’s cosponsors—New York representative Elise Stefanik, a Republican, and Virginia representative Bobby Scott, a Democrat—have made a case for including it in the NDAA. The Pell expansion, they wrote in an amendment summary, will help “equip students with the necessary skills to be prepared for work in high-demand fields that are aiding our national security and global competitiveness.” Those fields include shipbuilding and cybersecurity.

As news of this latest legislative maneuver on short-term Pell spread, labor groups, consumer protection advocates and higher education associations rallied to oppose the amendment, taking issue with how lawmakers plan to pay for the expansion—as well as the policy idea itself. 

Under the bill, institutions that are subject to an endowment tax—a few dozen wealthy private colleges—would be required to reimburse the Education Department for unpaid student loans to pay for expanding the program. The American Council on Education (ACE) and 22 other higher education associations are urging the Rules committee to reject the amendment. ACE has previously opposed the legislation in part because of the pay-for., or offset.

ACE President Ted Mitchell wrote in a letter to lawmakers last week that the proposed pay-for would “establish a harmful precedent of targeting certain institutions and subjecting them to unequal status in federal programs,” and could lead some of those institutions to withdraw from federal financial aid programs, harming the lower-income students the Pell Grant is designed to help. Additionally, he said, the plan wouldn’t cover the full cost of the expansion.

“We do generally support establishing new Pell Grant eligibility, and it was our hope that this bill would have been modified to address the issues we have outlined with this offset,” Mitchell wrote.

Experts say attaching the measure to the NDAA represents one of the best chances—but not the only one—for the bill to pass the House before the end of the legislative calendar. The NDAA , which sets the budget and policies for the military, is one of the few items on Congress’s annual to-do list that must get done, so lawmakers often try to attach seemingly unrelated bills to the legislation. 

Expanding the Pell Grant to short-term workforce programs is popular with the public, according to a recent poll from the National Center for Civil Discourse. Business groups, technology companies and some in higher education have backed the idea, arguing it will help low-income students access training programs they need to find better-paying jobs.

Although support for the expansion has grown in recent years with bipartisan bills proposed in both the House and Senate, talks have broken down over whether to include for-profit colleges and how to ensure that the programs are high-quality. The House legislation includes for-profits but requires them to meet certain eligibility requirements, including showing that their graduates earn more than the typical high school graduate in their state. (The Senate's version of the bill excludes for-profits and leaves out the controversial pay-for.)

Supporters of the expansion say that the eligibility requirements in the House bill are plenty stringent. Opponents have questioned the effectiveness of the guardrails in the bill and raised broader concerns about the value of short-term programs and outcomes for students. 

But David Baime, senior vice president for government relations for the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), said the guardrails contained in the House bill “couldn’t be more exacting."

The Pell Grant expansion is a key priority for community colleges, and AACC is one of a few higher ed groups supporting the legislation. Baime said while AACC is opposed to “risk-sharing,” the concept underlying the pay-for, the proposed offset wouldn’t impact students directly,  and the institutional impact “remains to be seen.” Expanding the Pell Grant to short-term programs, he said, would mean money in the pockets of low-income individuals. It could make a difference for those deciding whether or not to enroll, he said.

“We think that it is well justified to invest—at very small amounts—additional resources in the lowest income students who are trying to leverage their economic position through these programs,” Baime said. The expansion, he noted, would cost less than 1 percent of the overall Pell Grant program. 

Critics of the legislation , including teachers’ unions, say the pay-for could undermine programs such as Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Because universities subject to the endowment tax will be on the hook for loans discharged through that debt-relief program, they say there’s a real worry that those institutions could steer their students and alumni away from public service. They’ve also taken issue with using the NDAA to push Workforce Pell to passage.

“They’re just trying to ram it through however they can, and we’ll see what happens,” said Amy Laitinen, senior director for higher education at New America, a left-leaning think tank that opposes the legislation and the policy more broadly. 

Laitinen said the issues with the legislation that prompted a wave of opposition earlier this year remain.

“It’s disingenuous to put it on NDAA, because it has nothing to do with military readiness,” she said. 

The short-term programs could harm some of those they’re designed to benefit, she said. Historically, veterans and military-connected students who have access to the GI Bill have been targeted by some predatory for-profit programs.

“Veterans end up getting screwed over when these types of programs are available because they are preyed upon and promised the world and given nothing but poverty-level jobs, if they get a job at all.”
