International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
Local 380’s Apprenticeship Program
Abundant opportunities are available in the electrical industry for those who have the right attitude, work hard and apply the knowledge they have gained through education. To become the best at your craft, one cannot count on what you learned solely from on the job training.
Local Union 380, of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), offers a five-year program that consists of both apprenticeship and formal education, allowing you to advance within the electrical industry. Every apprentice is assigned to an electrical contractor and works 40 hours a week learning the trade on the job, under the supervision of a foreman and working alongside seasoned journeymen wiremen. You will be paid an excellent wage and receive benefits while you learn on the job!
The second part of the program consists of classroom theory from September to June, two nights per week (Mondays and Thursdays from 6:00pm to 9:00pm) at our training center. Along with classroom study, students also take part in many hands-on shop nights, learning proper procedures for installing and maintaining equipment such as fire alarm, electric motors, motor controls, conduit bending, wiring methods, security, voice data, and more.
After five years of comprehensive training, most apprentices graduate to journeyman wireman status and enjoy the many opportunities this industry has to offer.
Advantages of joining an IBEW apprenticeship program include:
- No electrical experience needed.
- No tuition payment! All education expenses are paid out of a training trust that is funded by our contractors and our members.
- Learn the electrical trade from some of the best journeymen electricians anywhere.
- Earn excellent wages while you learn the trade on the job.
- Belong to the largest electrical union in the world.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers is comprised of proud union members with a wide diversity of skills and jobs. One of the most progressive unions in existence, the IBEW represents some 750,000 members in the United States and Canada.
