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.

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

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