Connecting Your Future
Electrical Apprenticeship
The Gillette College Electrical Apprenticeship program is designed to prepare students for success in a number of career pathways. Our small class sizes and experienced faculty provide students with the individualized attention they need to succeed. Our students also have the opportunity to participate in hands-on projects and internships. If you are interested in a technical career in Industrial Electricity, Gillette College is a great option.
The Electrical Apprenticeship Certificate Program fulfills the State of Wyoming and Department of Labor (DOL) Office of Apprenticeship educational requirements for registered apprentice electricians. The program is intended for apprentice electricians who have been registered with the State of Wyoming by their employer.
The coursework emphasizes the National Electrical Code (NEC) and prepares apprentice electricians to pass the Journeyman Electrician licensing exam at the conclusion of their four year apprenticeship.
The program is designed to be completed during a four year (8,000 hour) working apprenticeship. Courses are offered in the evening to accommodate the apprentice’s work schedule.
