WHAT IS APPRENTICESHIP?
The apprentice learns the skills of the trade through on-the-job training working alongside an experienced journeyman who passes on the skills they have learned over the years. In addition to the on-the-job training, the apprentice receives related classroom instruction that produces competency and pride that leads to becoming a true craftsman.
​
Another true advantage to apprenticeship is you earn while you learn. Apprentices start earning a livable wage as soon as they start working. They receive pay advancements throughout their apprenticeship based on performance.
​
The Augusta Electrical JATC offers apprenticeships in two highly rewarding fields:
Inside Wireman
Telecommunications Installer/Technician
