Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC) Apprenticeship Program
The IEC apprenticeship program is designed to train individuals in the electrical trade through a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on experience through a DOL certified program. Apprentices complete a multi-year program that covers topics ranging from including electrical theory, safety practices, code compliance, and more. The program equips apprentices with the skills needed for a successful career in electrical work, emphasizing both practical skills and theoretical knowledge. Get paid while you learn. You'll get on the-job training with IEC contractor during the day and attend classroom and hands-on instruction in the evening. When you finish your four-year training program, you'll qualify for 46 college credits through the American Council on Education, making a college degree more affordable and less time consuming.
