How to Become a Union Electrician
To become a union electrician, you must first complete an apprenticeship program. Apprenticeship programs typically last four years and combine on-the-job training with classroom instruction. To qualify for an apprenticeship program, you must be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma or equivalent. You may also need to pass a pre-apprenticeship test. Once you have completed an apprenticeship program, you will be eligible to take the journeyman electrician exam.
