Our programs
From first spark to journeyman
Seven connected programs carry a young person from their first look at the trade all the way to licensure, employment, and even business ownership.
Youth Trade Academy
Career-exploration and introductory training: residential, commercial, and industrial electrical work, safety, tools, blueprint reading, and licensing pathways — through workshops, job-site visits, and guest electricians.
Journeyman Pathway Scholarship
Financial assistance for training and licensure: tuition, program fees, books, tools, safety gear, exam fees, certification costs, and transportation — so money never ends a promising career.
Learn moreApprenticeship Connection Program
We partner with contractors, trade schools, unions, and employers to place participants into paid apprenticeships — with help on applications, résumés, interviews, and job readiness.
Wired Mentor Network
Participants are matched with journeyman and master electricians, contractors, engineers, inspectors, and instructors for guidance, accountability, and real-world knowledge.
Tools for Success
Essential career equipment for new apprentices: toolkits, work boots, hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, and testing equipment. Corporate sponsors can underwrite individual kits.
Learn moreLicense Ready Program
For apprentices approaching the journeyman exam: prep courses, practice exams, code-book education, tutoring, and testing-fee assistance.
Power Up Entrepreneurship Program
For licensed electricians ready to own a business: formation, licensing and insurance, estimating and bidding, bookkeeping, marketing, and hiring apprentices of their own.
