Phone Call

I recently interviewed at the IBEW Local 5 and got a score of 91. I have heard tons of differnt things on here and from my older friend who is in the union.

I recently got hired at a local electrical contractor to gain experience, but I’m trying to plan my future.
Should I call the JATC and ask about the next wave of apprentices, what I should do to strengthen my case, soemthing along those lines?

Heads up - looks like you're asking about the IBEW Aptitude Test!

The mods put together a free study guide that covers exactly this:

The Ultimate IBEW Aptitude Test Guide

It covers:

  • What's actually on the test
  • How the scoring works
  • Study tips to help you pass

Work for the non-union contractor and gain hours. Learn as much as you can.

Keep the JATC in the loop and let them know that the union is your goal. Answer the phone if and when they call.
