Apprenticeships - IBEW Comms - Expand your career in Network Cabling and Low Voltage!

THERE ARE SOME VERY GOOD REASONS FOR THIS DIFFERENCE.

WE HELP APPRENTICES SUCCEED

Each local has an apprenticeship council to manage apprentices, working with each one to ensure skills training is going well. The council team members are available to help if questions or challenges come up.

Apprentices in the IBEW never have to worry about being officially registered, because the council makes it happen. You’re also given the opportunity to complete your apprenticeship in a timely manner.

After each term of your training is completed, you’ll automatically get the raise you’re entitled to— no need to ask.

STARTING YOUR CAREER RIGHT

Apprentices are provided with an initial orientation program and safety training. Our educators work out of our training facilities to provide classes designed specifically for apprentices. When you’re due for a semester at trade school, you can take advanced courses to help you get a leg up on the material and ace your program.

Some locals pay your tuition and/or books, or provide bursaries once you’ve successfully completed a level. Check with your local to learn the specifics.

We also offer additional courses to help you get ready for your certificate of qualification exam.

JOB READINESS TRAINING

Some of our IBEW Local Unions offer a Job Readiness Training (JRT) program which is a great way to get introduced to the trade. The program is designed to ensure students are work-ready and provided the best path to obtain a Registered Training Agreement in the NCS 631A trade. Interested in learning more about this program?
