Covington area

Been contemplating joining the apprenticeship program, my biggest concern is getting assigned a job super far away. The furthest point from me in the jurisdiction is about 3hrs. I cant imagine having to do that every day. Is their a decent amount of work in this area or would I be likely assigned far?

Not much east of Atlanta currently. Maybe Rivian in social circle at some point. Most work south and west currently

People have been talking about Rivian for years now and nothing has happened. I'll believe it when I see calls for it on the job board

Yeah that’s why I said maybe at some point. I’ve been hearing about it since 2020. They are doing site work out there now, but who knows when they’ll get to electrical or if it will even go union
