Why Online Apprentice Training is Preferred by Contractors and Students

Submitted by Alex Hyatt, National Sales Manager

Are you looking for a job that is in high demand where you can earn real living wages, all while minimizing debt and educational expenses?

How about a long-term career with flexibility and a balanced work and home life?

Becoming an electrician may be just the right career path for you, and it all starts with proper on-the-job training with an Electrical Association member contractor and additional technical training in our Online Apprentice Training program.

Our Online Apprentice Training is the preferred method of technical training for both contractors and students, as it allows you to do the following:

Earn while you learn –

Start earning living wages immediately all while eliminating expensive school loans and debt. In 2022, the average student loan debt for a college education was over $37,000. The average tuition for all fours years of the Electrical Association’s Online Apprentice Training is only $5,000 and many Electrical Association member contractors pay for or reimburse at least a portion of the tuition.

Learn from home –

Study at your own pace while applying what you are learning on the job. No travel means less money on gas, less time on the road and more time learning.
Increasing your value increases your wages – As you increase your efficiency and problem solving skills, you increase your likelihood of a raise.

Promote yourself –

Be ready to pass your licensing exam when you have complete the required 8,000 hours of on-the-job experience.

The electrical trade ranks high among blue-collar jobs that are hard to fill. As more and more Baby Boomers exit the workforce, the demand for skilled electricians has never been greater.
