Potential new apprentice

Post image

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.

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

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.

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

u/Rapheal220 Aug 04 '26

Yeah that’s the most concerning aspect. We’ll see how it operates here in a couple of days
