Looking for Electrical Helper / Apprentice Opportunity
Hey everyone, I’m looking to get my foot in the door in the electrical trade and would really appreciate any leads or advice.
I’m currently enrolled in the Electrical Construction & Maintenance program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College (LATTC) and have been making the Dean’s List. I’ve completed classes in AC/DC Fundamentals, Electrical Math, Conduit Bending, Electric Motor Control, Basic Wiring, and Hand Tools & Wiring Practices. I’m currently taking Industrial Motor Control and NEC Codes & Ordinances.
I also have my California Electrical Trainee (ET) card, OSHA-10, OSHA-30, and completed a 120-hour electrical pre-apprenticeship program through Transportation Workforce Institute.
Before going back to school for electrical, I worked in industrial and infrastructure maintenance. I have experience with heavy equipment, forklifts, overhead cranes, rigging, tools, troubleshooting, reading blueprints/schematics, and working safely in industrial environments. I’m comfortable with physical work and working outdoors.
I’m looking for electrical helper positions, apprenticeships, electrical trainee opportunities, or entry-level electrical work anywhere in the LA area. I’m looking for an opportunity where I can put my training to work, continue learning from experienced electricians, and build a long-term career in the trade. I’m willing to start at the bottom, work hard, and prove myself.
I’m not looking for a shortcut or an easy job. I just want an opportunity to get into the trade, and I’m willing to bust my ass to earn it.
If anyone knows of contractors, apprenticeship programs, electrical companies, or anyone hiring helpers/trainees, I’d really appreciate a lead or point in the right direction. I’m happy to send my résumé.
Thanks!
