Apprenticeship Agreement

Apprenticeship requires a signed agreement between you and the IBEW-NECA, which ensures free quality training both on the job and in the classroom. As an apprentice you literally earn while you learn. As you advance through your training, you will receive predetermined pay increases. In signing an apprenticeship agreement, you commit to participate in classroom related training as well as on the job training.

What would you rather have?

Empty promises or a defined program?

Makeshift classes or a nationally recognized curriculum?

Promised raises that never come or guaranteed periodic advancement?

Minimum health coverage or high-quality health care and a guaranteed retirement?
