Hi fellow members.  I reside in the southeastern part of Ohio.  I have just finished a Penn Foster Electrical course with a 92% grade average.  I am looking for an electrician or contractor that has an apprenticeship opening.  Please email me at stvns239@aol.com if you know of an opening of this type and i will email you my resume.
Thankyou for your help

hey what's up Paul009 here in all my time I learn. that you can get there . Frist check with city codes and then learn them you will then pass a city test you go from there get your bond and start working on your job.not sumthing you just pass you got to know electrcal!

Steven:
First let me welcome you to the boards. I personally feel your doing the right thing looking to do an apprenticeship. There is no "BOOK LEARNING" that can come close to hands on learning from an licenced pro. electrician. Many areas and locations require this before you can get a certification and licenced.
Look in your Yellow Pages of the phone book for electricians. I'm sure they can lead you in the right direction and may possibly looking for an apprentice them-self. I've often seen listings in the newspaper Help Wanted Adds for a helper apprentice in the elec. field. Check your local newspaper and surrounding cities as well.
Good Luck and Good Hunting for your quest.

I agree with Oldman, there is only so much you can learn from a book. Working in the field is where the real experiance is recieved. The book can give you the tech. terms you need for passing the test to get your license. You may have already heard and/or learned things that are not in the books from working electricians. My advice is listen to experiance and never lose respect for electricity.

if you want good training check your local IBEW union.

PaulE009: To take most city Licensing exams, you need 5 years experience in the field. Not something you can get right out of school.
SSpencer2: It has already been mentioned but I'll repeat it. Your local National Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee (NJATC) is your BEST resource for Apprenticeship training. They should be easy to find in the yellow pages or at their website www.NJATC.org. You can also call your local IBEW to get their #. The NJATC is the IBEW's apprenticeship. Takes 5 years to become a Journeyman but you get to work and school at the same time. Even if you are not physically working for a contractor, your school is still paid for. Most appentices keep working through the low work times since they are cheap labor.
If the union isn't for you, try your area Allied Building Trades, They have an apprenticeship as well but keep in mind...not working for an ABC contractor...no school.
