Electrical Apprenticeship

Total 720 hrs.

Program Training Plan

Class and Lab Training:
As an Electrician Apprentice you will install and maintain electrical systems. You will place wiring in buildings and repair electronic controls on equipment. Some of your responsibilities will be: reading blueprints and placing electrical conduit inside walls, partitions, ceilings, and other areas. This program will satisfy the educational requirements to take the State Journeyman Exam. MATC’s Apprenticeship programs are composed of two parts: (1) on-the-job training and (2) classroom instruction. The on-the-job training is provided by an outside sponsor (employer) who exposes the apprentice to practical applications in all areas of a chosen trade. The classroom related instruction is an organized form of instruction, designed to provide the apprentice with knowledge of the theoretical and technical aspects of his or her trade. Classroom related instruction will be held at one of MATC’s Campuses.
