 Who wires the industrial plants and factories, the
warehouses, the office buildings, the shopping centers small and large...
and who's called when something goes wrong with the electrical system in
such facilities?
Generally, the call goes to our contractors.
And to get the work done, they need highly skilled journeyman wireman (electricians).
That's why the industry created a five-year apprenticeship program -
involving in-depth knowledge of all types of electrical work.
Journeymen are in short supply, with the
number decreasing as workmen trained 20 to 30 years ago retire. Our
industry has devoted hundreds of millions of dollars and resources to gear
up and train more and more of these highly skilled electricians...the
backbone of the electrical construction industry.
As a part of that structure, your career would
involve interesting, ever-changing work, with opportunities galore. We are
currently employing and training over 30,000 men and women in this program
alone.
