IBEW 143 - Harrisburg apprenticeship opportunity (Apply on our website)

There are many benefits to becoming a Local 143 apprentice, including earning a steady income.

As apprentices improve their skillset and advance through our 5-year program, they receive scheduled pay raises.

Unlike college students, our apprentices do not go into debt to receive their education. While most college students are burdened with tens of thousands of dollars or more of student loan debt, the IBEW apprenticeship is practically free. Students only pay for their books. Instead of paying for their education, apprentices are paid to learn.

In many instances, a first-year Local 143 journeyman (a person who completes the apprenticeship training) will earn more than a first-year college graduate with a bachelor’s degree. Additionally, first-year journeymen are usually in better overall financial shape because they are not burdened with a massive amount of college debt.

Instead of struggling to pay student loans, apprentices are buying homes, vehicles, other large-ticket items or starting a family because they have put themselves in a financially secure position.
