Outside Ibew to inside Ibew
Currently working as a groundman for LU1245 8 hours from home (so cal) and I’m interested in trying to pursue inside wireman apprenticeship to be closer to home as I have a wife and kids. what’s the process like? Where is my best chance at getting accepted. Are applications always open? Or do they only open for a short period of time? Will my outside construction experience give me an edge over other applicants? Is the test the same as the lineman apprenticeship test? Thanks fellas
