Would you like to get paid to go to school? Get paid to learn new career skills?
IBEW Apprenticeships offer qualified individuals the opportunity to “Earn-While-They-Learn” by balancing classroom education with hands-on training on the job site.
Apprentices get paid Week One and accrue both wages and benefits. Tuition is subsidized by the industry partnership between labor and management. There may be a nominal fee for books, work clothing and tuition which vary by market.
Like a full-ride scholarship, IBEW Apprenticeship education is paid for by the Labor/Management relationship between the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the National Electrical Contractors Association.
Apprentices graduate debt-free.
All IBEW Local Unions offer apprenticeships. Training is provided at Electrical Industry Training Centers located throughout Michigan. The apprenticeship curriculum is developed at national and local levels and taught by certified, experienced instructors.
The IBEW Michigan site aims to connect you to the Electrical Industry Training Center near you to learn more about apprenticeships, our programs and the application process.
