ABOUT THE APPRENTICESHIP
Apprenticeships are employer-sponsored training programs. You must have a contract before being invited to school. A special application process is used for these programs.
Please contact the Apprenticeship Office for the proper forms. Apprenticeship means you earn while you learn. If you want a career in a skilled trade, apprenticeship is the best way to get there. You’ll combine on-the-job training with on campus learning— you’ll have the best of both worlds when it comes to learning the skills you need to get ahead. And even better, you’ll earn a paycheck while you learn those skills.
ABOUT THE CAREER
Industrial electricians maintain and repair many different types of electrical equipment.
In addition, they modify and install electrical equipment such as motors, transformers, generators, controls, instruments, lighting systems, and power distribution. Typical duties of this trade include performing preventative maintenance; replacing units or parts such as wiring, fuses, circuit breakers, coils or switches; measuring, cutting, bending, threading and installing conduits; using such devices as test lamps, volt-ohm meters and oscilloscopes; working from blueprints, drawings, and diagrams; making mathematical computations to determine the current carrying capacities of electrical wire and equipment; and troubleshooting AC and DC drives and programmable logic controllers.
CAREERS
Graduates of LTC’s Industrial Electrician Apprenticeship program work as journey-level industrial electricians in commercial, industrial, and public establishments.
