  • This video is an update on my progression through trying to get an electrical apprenticeship. I have tried a few companies and haven't heard anything back so now I am going the "Further my Education" route and trying to get some classes under my belt that IBEW might deem necessary for their apprenticeship.

    Crazy how everyone talk’s about having nobody to work for them but then never get back to you 😂

    Where are you at with this? It's disappointing to see the trades pass over guys willing to work. I am a hiring manager for a large company and can never find good help with work ethic. Then I see stuff like this and wonder what's up with these companies.

      I am currently in IBEW working through North Kansas City Electric, it's been great so far and I'm definitely glad I tried to get in a 2nd time. Determination shows is what they told me when they accepted me.

      Well done. My son starts with Capital Electric tomorrow and swears in Wed. I'd much rather see the youth of America join the trades and build this country up, than go to college and emass a huge debt and burden the taxpayers.
      Y'all will be in 6 figures in 5 years.

    Yo, I'm wondering if you ended up doing some certificates. I'm going to do some colleges classes, I hope that's enough as well.

      I did college classes for the reinterview and got in from that, I don't think I obtained any certificates from the college classes. If you're trying to get a reinterview just follow through with getting it because they appreciate the people that come in for a reinterview showing their determination to get in

      Hey you got this, I recommend watching my other IBEW video, my first video, and that goes over what will be on the test

      Good luck! I would take the advice from the video about reaching out to other companies as well.

      I will be reapplying for other roles in IBEW in January, like pre apprenticeship and apprenticeship positions so hopefully I can land a spot.

      I'm an ironworker apprentice rn, and one of the sprinkler fitters guys I met at the job was working hotel maintenance before he got in trades. I would say it's a good way to get a bit of experience. I would say before you try to join a trade get experience in a different trade or if you can work as a non union electrician. I passed the aptitude test n I have my interview with the IBEW in a few months.
