Apprenticeship Begins with 4 Students

After much time spent preparing the program, training spaces and acquiring credentialing through both NCCER and the DOL, Burkhead Electric held it's first Apprenticeship class in April of 2020. Four students, all current employees of Burkhead Electric, began the 4 year program learning the skills both in a classroom, lab and on the job learning environments. The opportunity that having an in-house apprenticeship program provides to Burkhead Electric is that we are only 1 of 3 accredited programs in the local area - the other two options are the local Electrical Union and ABC (a nationwide organization).

We are looking forward to watching these apprentices develop their skills in the electrical field further and also welcome new members to the program in the years to come.
