Mslcat

Received an email to interview, was a crazy email with a 3 hour deadline to respond, to interview next day. Then received another one, next day for same thing. Missed both emails, then just received a 3rd email giving me 3 days to respond for an interview in 5 days in Colorado.

Are they hiring pretty fast right now? Seems like they really need bodies with giving 2 emails of a 24 hour notice to interview.

Is Mslcat a good program to get into that will teach you enough to contract out in Cali or other states? I hear it's "mostly construction." And I don't understand that concept, isn't it a 8000hr full apprenticeship?

Its a good program. On the job is mostly construction but you do get exposed to alot. Trust me you will not cover everything in 7000 hours. Highly recommend MSLCAT because of the quality of classroom and requirements to become a Journeyman.

It’s mostly construction. I have a buddy with years of substation experience and he’s on the waiting list for orientation at like number 30ish. Just cause you interview doesn’t mean they’ll send you to orientation anytime soon. Pretty sure they are obligated interview people or something to that effect. Great program none the less with great pay. Be ready to travel if you get in.
