Electrical
The ABC Electrical Apprenticeship Program is a Registered Department of Labor (DOL) program leading to licensure as a Journeyman Electrician in the State of Texas. Apprentices work full-time during the day for a sponsoring electrical company under the supervision of a Journeyman Electrician and attend classes two evenings a week for four years. The work hours fulfill the DOL and Texas State licensure requirement of 8,000 hours of on-the-job training (OJT), and the class hours fulfill the DOL and Texas State licensure requirement of 656 instructional hours.
Apprenticeship students who complete these requirements will receive a Certificate of Completion from the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, as well as from the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER), and are eligible to sit for the Texas State Journeyman Electrician licensure examination.
A list of employer sponsors is provided to all apprentices, and assistance is provided with job search and employment retention via the Apprenticeship program Coordinator.
