Apprentice/Journeyman Program

Austin Electrical Company is a partner with a National Joint Apprenticeship program that offers training and instruction to our new and upcoming apprentices who will become state-certified journeyman electricians. This is a 5-year program where the apprentices go to a state-certified night school two nights a week and work on the job during the day with a state-certified journeyman electrician. The program provides the electrical theory and safety as well as the hands-on practicum such that our employees are well educated on industry requirements and practices and are able to perform all electrical requirements with quality and safety required for a successful project.
