An electrician is a skilled tradesperson who combines electrical theory with the knowledge of the operating characteristics of electrical equipment and devices. Along with this knowledge and the necessary job skills, this individual safely and correctly wires commercial, industrial, residential, and other types of building facilities. Thus, the electrician performs a service, which enables the consumer to use electrical energy for such purposes as lighting, heating and the operation of electrical equipment, motors, control systems and appliances. Through this combination of education, training, and hands-on experience, students not only learn a skilled trade but also build a career. The current electrical workforce is aging and the need for skilled electricians is constant. Jobs for experienced electricians are always available.


If you're seriously interested in becoming a skilled and licensed journeyman electrician, apprenticeship training is the proven method to reach your goal. Years of field experience enhances your practical knowledge but does not substitute for registered apprenticeship training.

The electrician apprenticeship program is a combination of classroom and on the job training over a four-year period. The program is designed to provide the apprentice with the necessary theory and practical training to earn the status of electrician.
The Independent Electrical Contractors, FECC, Inc. Chapter provides you with the proper education to prepare you to step into this greatly needed profession.
