Apprenticeship Program and Classroom Training Registered by the U.S. Dept of Labor.
- This program prepares students to choose the career path in Electrical Trades that
best meets their interests while building the skills, knowledge, and talents necessary
to be successful in the hiring process and starting an apprenticeship if that is the
chosen career path.
- Most students will begin their career as an electrician helper or apprentice during
the program or after graduating. Students are provided the necessary knowledge to
weigh the pros and cons of non-union or union apprenticeships and careers by contact
with representatives from each type of contractor or facility and in consultation
with Electrical Trades Advisory Board members as desired. The program instructors
are impartial and will not advocate for either union or non-union employment.
- Earn an Electrical Trades Diploma while beginning an Electrician Apprenticeship.
- An apprenticeship program, sponsored by the DMACC Electrical Trades Program, registered
with the U.S. Department of labor and recognized by the Iowa Electrical Examination
Board (IEEB) is available for qualified students when coordinated with participating,
area non-union electrical contractors.
- Currently a 4 year Electrician Apprenticeship Program is available.
- We will be adding residential and Electrical maintenance occupations to our U.S. DOL
apprenticeship standards if the need arises for local contractors and Commercial/Industrial
facilities.
- For students seeking an Electrical trades education and diploma, but are considering
a career path with other Non-Union or Union apprenticeship programs, inquire about
how an Electrical Trades Diploma from DMACC would apply.
- Please see Professors/Contacts for questions regarding apprenticeships.
