Houston Electrical Apprenticeship Training Center

The Houston Electrical ApprenticeshipTraining Center provides an apprenticeship and education program for individuals desiring a career in the electrical construction industry. The program is registered with the United States Department of Labor which allows the use of GI Bill benefits.


The electrical apprentice will learn the trade by working under the watchful eyes of skilled and experienced Journeyman Electricians. The work is often in the mud and dust of construction projects, in all kinds of weather, inside and outside. You may be digging a ditch, handling heavy conduit or equipment, pulling heavy cable, cleaning and sweeping the work area, or climbing an extension ladder to install equipment in the ceiling. You may be running small conduit and pulling small wire for lights and receptacles in a commercial building, or trying to find out why a motor doesn't run when the start button is pushed. In any case, the job will cause you to be around moving machinery, noise, dirt, poor footing, construction debris, and any number of other hazards.
