I have been trying to become an electrician since '99. I have tried the local union, and non-union training apprenticeships and NOTHING. I know that times are hard now and that is why they are limiting their class sizes, but this is getting ridicules. I have experience working for two electrical contractors during a different locals "Summer Help Program". That local allows out-of-local people to participate in that program, but you are not allowed to try and get into the apprenticeship unless you live in the local. I would like to get into a program that offers the hands on training and the class work. Am I missing something? Does anybody know an loop-holes in jurisdiction requirement? The two areas in question are Toledo up to Ann Arbor (Union Locals 8 & 252). Is there any other training programs available?
