Pay & Benefits
Most students who take the traditional route into
a college or university pay tuition for several years “often
taking large student loans” and then graduate into an entry-level
position with low pay, leaving Mom and Dad to bail them out of the
bills. Electricians EARN while they LEARN.

Electrical apprentices typically earn $50,000 to
$75,000 in total wages and benefits while learning their trade, depending
on which one of our four apprenticeship programs they select. It's
not unusual for apprentices graduating from our inside programs to
earn $80,000 or more in their first year as a journeyman (depending
on where they live and work). Pay in our other specialties is also
highly competitive with, and often surpasses, what new college graduates
earn.

That's not all. A career in the Electrical Industry
offers great benefits programs (benefits vary by location). All include
health insurance and participation in a national pension plan, most
also include supplemental employer-paid pension and/or annuity funds,
401(k)s, and other benefits. Your son or daughter will be covered,
even before he or she realizes the importance of such planning for
the future.
