Safety and Health Topics Electrical

Electrical

Working with electricity can be dangerous. Engineers, electricians, and other professionals work with electricity directly, including working on overhead lines, cable harnesses, and circuit assemblies. Others, such as office workers and sales people, work with electricity indirectly and may also be exposed to electrical hazards.

Apprenticeship Training

Beginning in 1968, the Kentucky & Southern Indian chapter of the IEC has been providing electrical training to Kentuckiana area contractors, electricians and apprentices, graduating over 1,000 qualified candidates. 

If you would like to consider a career as an electrician, you are invited to contact us (tel: 502-493-1590) and we will explain its many advantages and how you can get started.  

Apprentice Competition   Apprentice Graduation
 

Apprentices must be full-time employees of an IEC member contractor who serves as the “apprenticeship sponsor.” Apprentices attend class one night per week, for 39 weeks, August through May. 156 hours of instruction are received each year for 4 years. Apprentices graduate as an “Electrician”, and many are ready to pass the Master Electrician Exam to receive their Master Electrician License.

  • Fully accredited by the U.S. Department of Labor and the Kentucky Apprenticeship Council
  • Fully accredited by ACE for up to 36 hours of college credit
  • Approved by U.S. Veteran’s Administration
  • If you are interested in attending the Apprenticeship program this fall we will have an information session on Thursday, July 1st at 4:30. This session is for people interested in the program that have been unable to gain employement with a member contractor. We will discuss how the program works, what is expected from you, and tuition cost. We will also have someone here from BB&T if you are in need of financial assistance.
  • We are now approved to accept GI Bills.
  • If you have any additional questions regarding this information session please call the IEC office at (502)493-1590.
