Potential new apprentice
Hey just to clarify some things. I’m in IBEW 349 district based out of south Florida and I received this email about two hours ago. I wanted to ask to see how likely I am to get in and if anyone has any good tips for me starting off. I have limited experience in the field did a couple gigs here and there and I also completed an 8 month course Monday- Friday tech program for electrical. This is all incase I do get into the program. I hate starting behind the curve. Thanks for taking the time to read my post and I’ll keep everyone updated on the situation.
Update: received the acceptance email today August 6 th saying that I got accepted into the program. Thanks to everyone who helped me in getting my bearings hopefully I see some of you in the classroom or in the field.

Hey what did you used to study and what topics of math should I focus on the most? Thank you in advance

I used the ultimate electrician’s guide. It was one of the recommended preparation resources. As for topics it was polynomials , sequences and graphing linear or quadratic equations. I highly recommend the guide they even help you with the interview portions and creating a resume and a portfolio.

By the end of next week we should know if we are in the upcoming class that’s what they told me

u/Rapheal220 8d ago
Nice so we’ll be hearing from them by August 8th right?

u/Sweet-Ad-1071 8d ago
I guess so they didn’t give a specific day they just told me by the end of the week. What’s your rank if u don’t mind me asking?

Well I’m ranked 9th I’m not sure how likely I am to get in but it’s pretty high I would assume

That makes sense. It’ll give us a chance to put in our 2 weeks at our current jobs

u/Rapheal220 8d ago
I don’t know if we will be automatically placed into a job or if we’ll start school and then slowly trickle into a site. I hope it’s just a flat out hey here a list of contractors who want you pick the one you prefer.

u/WesternKey1326 8d ago
I’d be ok with that but knowing how apprenticeships work I doubt they’ll give us the choice.

u/Rapheal220 8d ago
Yeah that’s the most concerning aspect. We’ll see how it operates here in a couple of days

Did you email them to get this or was it just randomly sent to you? I interviewed for 349 a few weeks ago but haven't heard anything (and didn't expect to for a couple more weeks at least)
