IBEW training is the best in the industry and second to none!! If you want to learn the electrical trade from the best in a college accredited program at NO cost to you this is only the place to do it!

Abundant opportunities are available in the electrical industry for those who have the right attitude, work hard and apply the knowledge they have gained through education. To become the best at your craft, one can not count on what you learned solely from on the job training.

The electrical trade is highly technical, physically demanding and highly rewarding both in wages and in a feeling of self accomplishment. The electrical industry is constantly changing with advancements in techniques, products and innovation. Today's Electrical professionals use their knowledge, skills and abilities to succeed in this competitive and challenging career.

The construction inside wireman and tele-data apprenticeship programs are true apprenticeships in every sense of the word. Our programs consist of two parts: First, every apprentice is assigned to an electrical contractor and works 40 hours a week learning the trade on the job, under the supervision of a foreman and working alongside seasoned journeymen wiremen or tele-data technicians. You will be paid an excellent wage and receive benefits while you learn on the job.

The second part of the program consists of classroom theory from September to June, two nights per week (Mondays & Wednesday or Tuesdays & Thursdays from 6 to 9 pm) at our training center. Along with classroom study, students also take part in hands-on learning labs, learning proper procedures for installing and maintaining equipment such as fire alarm, electric motors, transformers, motor controls, conduit bending, wiring methods, security, voice data, and more.

Local 229 has a certified BICSI lab where you will receive hands on instruction. Certified BICSI trained instructors teach the nationally recognized BICSI course to apprentices and technicians.

Apprentices are graded on their classroom study, and monthly work reports that evaluate the student’s on-the-job training performance. Passing grade averages are required.

After five years of comprehensive training, apprentices graduate to journeyman wireman status and enjoy the many opportunities this industry has to offer.

We want the best applicants…those with good work ethic, good attitude, a willingness to learn and a commitment to succeed. If you have those qualities come apply!!
