Absolutely. We’ve had many successful women apprentices over the years, and we encourage women to apply.

We’re looking to hire apprentices who are “all in” and see the electrical apprentice program as the foundation of a life-long career in the trade. That said, while all parts of the application process are factored into hiring decisions, the interview can oftentimes separate one candidate from another.
 

The greatest value from letters of recommendation are when they’re from teachers, professors, supervisors, commanding officers for our military candidates, or others you consider as mentors. Parents and family friends should be avoided.

Yes, you may retake the test after a period of three (3) months has elapsed from your last test date.

No, there are no penalties for guessing. Your score will be based on the number of questions you answer correctly.

You should review the sample questions, which can be found in the Aptitdue Test link under the 'How to Apply' tab.

It is suggested that you “brush up” on your Algebra and basic computation skills before taking the test. There is no need to memorize formulas or factual material in order to do well on the test.

A good preparation tool would be the GED test preparation book which you can borrow from any public library.

Applying for our apprenticeships, you are required to get a qualifying score on our aptitude test to be interviewed (unless you have documented proof of 4,000 hours of previous electrical construction experience).

If you feel you may struggle on either the math or reading comprehension subjects, the Electricprep online courses may be a useful tool to help you prepare.

FYI: By purchasing this test prep product in no way automatically gives you advance standing or extra consideration over any other applicant. It should give you added knowledge on what the test will cover and the confidence that you are prepared when you actually take the test.

GOOD LUCK!!

No. If you do not complete all of the test, your score will be based on the questions you do complete. You will not be able to reschedule to take the test again for another 3 months.

You will be informed whether or not you have received a qualifying score. Exact scores are not provided.

We accept applications year-round, and generally do our interviewing and hiring in the summer and fall. In some situations we can start your on-the-job training soon after you accept the position.

After the interview process is complete, The JATC Committee chooses individuals from a pool of eligible ranked applicants. This typically happens in late Spring to early Summer.

Classes typically form in the fall of each year.
