Electricity

This program is designed to provide entry-level skills in the electrical field. Students learn to install wiring systems according to the current edition of the National Electrical Code. Participants will learn to wire residential and commercial projects. Students will also develop industry-standard safe working practices. Physics and advanced mathematical calculations are used frequently, along with college-level reading and writing skills. The NFPA Electrical Code Book is written at a college level.  Students are exposed to real-world situations, such as oral business practices and finances. Students are expected to work collaboratively, be respectful, have strong communication skills, and also be self-motivated and work independently. 

This program requires moving and climbing ladders, using the scissor lift and being high off the ground, lifting heavy equipment, and being able to distinguish colors. Safety is paramount as students will be working with electrical currents and equipment in dangerous scenarios; therefore, students are expected to be focused, responsible, and mature.
