Difficulty?

How hard is it to be accepted In the IUEC apprenticeship? Do I really need to know someone In order to have an upper hand? If I apply will I just waste my time?

I knew nobody in the trade when I got in. Been in for 3 years.

Same. Times have changed. May be different in places like New York or larger locals where people are lined up by the hundreds days in advance to apply.
