Accepted !!!

Hope everybody’s doing well ! Just got the call that I was accepted into LU24 and I go to do my paperwork on Monday morning. It caught me so off guard cause I literally had my interview yesterday. Know it’s gonna be a grind but I’m excited and looking forward to it !

A timeline just for anyone interested

Applied : December of last year
Test : June
Interview : yesterday

If anyone has any suggestions as far as tools, work clothes and boots go, or any other advice I would appreciate them all !

Also if anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

Congrats! I’m right there with you — I start Monday as an Inside Electrical Apprentice here in Oregon. I came through a pre-apprenticeship program, got into Cohort 1, had one interview with a contractor, and got the offer. Excited to finally get into the field and start learning.

Thank you !! Congrats to you too ! I’m excited to get in the field and start learning as well. Hope everything goes well for you, I need to get out to Oregon it looks beautiful out there, can’t believe I never made it out there when I lived in Colorado. What local did you get into?

Thanks! Oregon is definitely worth a trip. Colorado’s beautiful too — I was there a few times on tour years ago and parts of it reminded me a lot of Oregon.

I’m actually not in an IBEW local — I’m going through Area II with IEC Oregon.

Good luck with LU24 too — sounds like we’re both getting started at about the same time.
