INTERVIEW & SELECTION PROCESS

 

Once the necessary score is achieved, applicants are eligible for an interview with our committee.( A mandatory pre-interview is held before the committee interview to provide a overview of our program and answer frequently asked questions.) Applicants are scored, ranked after the interview and placed on a one- year list in. A class is chosen from the list starting from the highest ranked applicant. Class size is determined by industry demand.  Applicants remain active for one year in which they can possibly be called for work or the apprenticeship at any time.  All applicants will be notified by mail of their standings. This process may take up to 6 months.

 

If an applicant is placed on the one-year list, there are also options available to request a re-interview if they should choose: (a.) gain 450 hours of electrical experience with an electrical contractor (b.) take two (2) post- secondary electrical-related courses in which they pass. Applicants can then request a re-interview if they choose.

 

Applicants that are selected for apprenticeship must pass a post-offer physical and drug test and attend all mandatory orientations.
