Availability

The apprenticeship program is available to eligible high school students throughout the Rio Grande Valley (RGV).

Our goal is to help students build valuable skills, gain work experience, and discover rewarding careers in the electrical industry before they graduate from high school.

The Working Experience Program is designed for individuals 18 years of age and older who are interested in becoming electricians but have little or no field experience.

Many participants may have completed electrical courses or earned certifications but have not yet been given the opportunity to work for an electrical contractor. This program bridges the gap between classroom education and real-world jobsite experience.

Participants work alongside experienced electricians on active projects while continuing their education through structured Saturday training sessions.
