While in lab, safety is first and foremost and all applicable codes related to the electrical industry must be followed including lockout/tagout on all electrical equipment.

Electrical Trades is a college credit plus program and 11 college credits can be earned. Upon successful completion of the program the first year of apprenticeship is completed.

Upon graduation students can be employed in several different aspects of the trade and are considered the best trained in central Ohio by the contractors who employ them. The central Ohio area is booming due to the massive growth coming to Licking County and adjacent areas. This growth is largely driven by new industries and supporting growth in the commercial, industrial, and residential sectors.
