What Is The IBEW Apprenticeship Program?

The IBEW electrical apprenticeship is a joint program between the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA).

The Electrical Training Alliance was created to blend classroom and online learning together to improve the experience for all IBEW apprenticeships.

Blended learning is an education program in which a student learns at least in part through delivery of content and instruction via digital and online media with some element of student control over time, place, path, or pace

Apprenticeship programs are designed to have students work and go to school at the same time. This allows students to make a living, learn valuable on-the-job experience, and complete the education requirements needed to become a licensed electrician.

A classroom education can’t teach you everything. But by joining an apprenticeship you’re going to “earn as you learn” through on-the-job-training (OJT).

In addition to OJT, you’ll receive hands-on training in a classroom environment similar to daily work situations.
