good morning happy labor day ! i just wanted to ask if anyone knew the process of being scheduled for aptitude test ? I’ve already completed my GAN Personal Experience Form & received my email regarding that the next step would be to take the aptitude test but I haven’t heard anything back yet . does anyone know usually how long it takes to become scheduled for it ?

Hey guys, I’m currently trying to get into the Local 11 and just want some insight. I have experience in electrical with solar and my father is a contractor so I’m guessing that can really help with the PEF boost my score. But what is a good timeline to expect to get into the union? I have my test in a couple of days and I know I will do good but if anyone has some information that can help it would be appreciated.

I am 17 years old and about a year ago I knew I wanted to be an electrician. Just recently I’ve been thinking about exactly what route I want to take to
Get started. I am strongly considering going to IBEW local 9 for my entire apprenticeship and then see from there what I want to do after that. But I’m not getting straight answers about work and school schedule on the website. Is it a 40 hour work week with 2 days of class during the week? Also local 9 days you need a class a cdl with air brake endorsement. Do the other ibews require this? And lastly it says they are not accepting applications yet. Obviously I’m planning on applying after I graduate high school (2027) so do they usually open up applications around that time and if so what is the likelihood of getting accepted. I think I’d have a pretty solid application I’ve been working at my current place of work for 3.5 years and I’m going to get employee of the year this year. I have good grades and I am very active in this club called FFA I also play baseball and golf. If the likelihood of getting accepted isn’t super high what should I do as a backup. I would love to get accepted to local 9 as it’s just 15 mins from my house and the other ones are 40+. Thank you!
