If you’re starting in an electrical apprenticeship, congratulations! You’ve made an excellent decision to gain the training you’ll need to pursue a successful career.
If you’re starting in an electrical apprenticeship,
congratulations! You’ve made an excellent decision to gain the training you’ll
need to pursue a successful career. It’s an investment in your future that will
pay dividends for many years.
Right now you’re probably unsure of what to expect from
your program. That’s understandable: after all, this is uncharted waters for
you, and you can’t be expected to know
much at this point.
So to help you along, here are a few pointers that could
help you as you move forward in your electrician apprenticeship program.
Show That You are Reliable
It’s
important to remember that your employer and your coworkers are counting on you
to be there. You need to do good work, but it doesn’t matter how good your work
is if you can’t get to the job on time.
And once you are saddled with a reputation for
unreliability, it’s hard to get rid of it. It will follow you from job to job,
informing future employers that you have a history of not showing up.
Any boss will
agree that an average electrician who shows up consistently is better than the
star worker who no one can count on. If
being on time isn’t something that comes naturally to you, you should practice
until you are good at it—it’s that important!
Keep Track of Your Hours
Depending on
where you live, the number of hours you’ll need to work to complete your
training will be different. Once you have determined the number of hours
required, make sure you keep a record of them in a manner that fulfills your
state’s obligations.
Your goal is
to become a licensed electrician and to
do that you’ll need to work the required hours and have an accurate record of them.
Become Familiar with the National Electrical Code
The National Electrical Code (NEC) is a
collection of definitive guidelines for the safe and secure installation of electrical
equipment and wiring. It looks
daunting, but you’ll eventually feel right at home with it. So, if at first you
feel intimidated by the NEC, keep studying, and
you’ll soon get the hang of it.
Prepare Yourself for a Little Dirty Work
For the first
part of your apprenticeship, you’ll be doing your share of menial tasks. Don’t
be discouraged. Every apprentice has served time on the cleanup crew,
performing all those no-skill jobs like removing debris and trash from the
worksite.
You’ll be
everyone’s “gofer,” running for tools and supplies—even picking up lunch for
your coworkers on occasion. You might find these tasks irritating, but it’s
best not to let it show. It’s part of your job, and you’re not being singled
out. Your best course of action is to do mundane
tasks with a smile and gain a reputation
for being cooperative.

Outsource employs over 300 technicians weekly on jobsites across the continental United States. We work with all the national system integrators and all the major electrical contractors and many of our technicians go on to permanent placement opportunities. Structured Cabling is an excellent entry point into the construction industry and it allows for a diverse amount of options when it comes to choosing a career path. Outsource specializes in training people looking to transition into a skilled trade and we do it at no charge.
Chris Trevino, an Operations Analyst for the company, explains why structured cabling is a viable career option. “The construction industry is always in the needs for new talent band this has never been more true than it is today. In fact, The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced in 2014 that it expects to add nearly 10 million new jobs to the U.S. economy trough 2024. A lot of those jobs will go to skilled trade technicians in the construction industry and structured cabling is a great skill to know. As you gain experience and knowledge, you will be given more responsibility on the job and have the opportunity to transition into other areas of structured cable, including A/V and security installation”
Outsource’s Field Employee Training Program provides quality entry-level low-voltage installers to our clients around the country. The introduction of a robust and well-designed program for entry-level training is done onsite at Outsource and is complete in only four (4) days.
The program, which consists of 2 in the classroom and 2 days obtaining your OSHA certification, gives you the tools, safety equipment, and skills to immediately go out and work with out clients. At Outsource, trainees will learn data jack termination (568A and 568B), professionalism, jobsite etiquette, and will be OSHA certified. All of our trainees will have terminated well over 100 voice and data jacks by the time they are released to the field.
Our training center and corporate headquarters is a 4,000 square foot drop ceiling facility which creates an ideal setting for pulling cable and each class involves many actual cable pulls. Each trainee that finishes the course is outfitted with a 110/66 punch tool, snips, hard hat, safety glasses, and blue t-shirts to wear on jobsites.
Furthermore, Outsource also offers a bonus program for its field technicians. After 520 hours working with Outsource, we will supply you with a $200 bonus and a 6-foot ladder. There are additional bonus increases at 1,040 hours and 2,080 hours.
Sam Jarvis, VP of Operations, says, “We look at our Field Employee Training Program as a philanthropic endeavor. We don’t charge anything for the training program and it’s a way to give back to the community by offering people a way into the industry. We want to take an active role in providing people with an opportunity to better themselves and build a lasting career.”
No previous experience is required to attend training sessions at Outsource. We’re looking for motivated individuals who want to learn a skilled trade that can help build a successful and fulfilling career. If you are looking for a new job opportunity with the possibility for growth, advancement, and fulfilling work at the end of the day, then our training class is for you.
