Robert Franklin, IBEW, speaks with the students at Carbon Career & Technical Institute recently in the Technical Area of Electrical Distribution & Automation. CCTI students in the Electrical Distribution and Automation/Electrician Department had the opportunity to learn about the apprenticeship with the local union in Allentown. The apprenticeship coordinates with the school and work for the student. During the students’ time of their apprenticeship, they will learn how long it takes for the apprenticeship, starting wage, when they are eligible for pay raises, benefits and how they remain in training the electricians when a student becomes a Journeyman electrician.
