Career Counselors: Offer a Meaningful Career Path

We offer a FREE action kit for electrical and technical careers. Our kit includes a poster, brochures, two different interactive CD-ROMs, a “fax-back” form for you to order additional material, and more. Our goal is to help you alert interested individuals to a career path that prepares them to become qualified professionals in an exciting and expanding industry.

What We Offer

Here’s what a career in the electrical and high-tech industries can mean:

  • College Credits: anyone completing our career education programs may be eligible to receive from 22 to 58 credits toward the award of an associate’s degree. We also enable credits earned in our apprenticeship programs to be transferred to a four-year college for application towards a bachelor’s degree.
  • Pay & Benefits: our apprenticeship programs combine formal, instructor-lead class work with real work experience. It is possible for individuals to earn total wages of from $80,000 to $150,000 during a three- to five-year apprenticeship—earning while they learn. There are excellent benefits as well.
  • A Future: there are more than 59 career choices within our industry, from technical to managerial to entrepreneurial. The place to begin is with apprenticeship training. With it, it is possible to build exciting, challenging, and rewarding lifelong careers.
