Hands-On
Train in brand new facilities...
We recently completed construction of the Hands-On Training Building. The new structure is located right behind the current classroom building. And is outfitted with an electric vehicle charging station and solar array, allowing students to train on real world equipment. The new addition houses state-of-the-art hands-on training in all aspects of the electrical trade.
Earn while you learn
learn in the lab earn on site...
An apprenticeship combines on-the-job and classroom training. Allowing you, as an apprentice, to actually earn while you learn. As an apprentice, you will work year-round for local electrical contractors, and attend classroom sessions during the academic year. As you learn by doing, you are paid directly by the contractor employing you.
