Our main apprenticeship school is located in Kansas City, Missouri, but we also have programs in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and Bentonville, Arkansas.
Reality is, 99% of electrical companies out there today will hire you as an apprentice and pay you to learn on the job. Imagine making money instead of paying another to do the same work. Electrical school is a waste of time and money because you pay for it, and it takes 1-2 years to complete. This could be 2 years invested into a journeyman license, but it's essentially thrown away. Just a waste on so many levels. Learn how to bend pipe (and everything else) on the job.
First and foremost, and Barts Electric, there is no cost. You "earn to learn" and we are paying the new folks from day one. Secondly, being "thrown into the fire" on a jobsite is not everyone's cup of tea when it comes to learning. In addition, a lot of the experienced journeyman aren't super thrilled with having to train someone who knows absolutely nothing about the trade. It slows them down and the training tends to be rushed and incomplete. In the program at Barts Electric, our students spend 4-5 weeks in our in-house training center getting paid to learn all of the basics with patient instructors before they ever get to a jobsite, so they can be a lot more productive when they show up. It's a win-win for both the new apprentice and the crew they join at the project.

You mean a 4s box? I’ve never heard it called a 1900 box before. I wouldn’t have known what the foreman was talking about either lol.
Never heard of 4s. Always called it a 1900. Shallow, deep, bracket. Maybe it's a location thing?
