IBEW LU 349 - Fort Myers's Qualified Electrical Repair

Our apprenticeship program trains electricians to perform a wide range of inspections to current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. This includes safety inspections for new installations, troubleshooting for existing systems, and verifying that all electrical work meets local Fort Myers and Florida building codes. Our graduates are skilled in identifying potential hazards and ensuring systems are safe and operational.

Our training places a strong emphasis on electrical safety and diagnostics, which directly applies to common Fort Myers homeowner concerns. Apprentices learn to identify the root causes of problems like overheated outlets or loose connections, which are often due to overloading, faulty wiring, or corrosion. They are trained in proper installation techniques, load calculation, and the use of diagnostic tools to prevent and resolve these specific safety hazards effectively.

The path is a structured, five-year apprenticeship. You'll work full-time for a signatory electrical contractor, earning wages while gaining thousands of hours of on-the-job training. Simultaneously, you'll attend related classroom instruction one or two nights a week at our Fort Myers training center. After successfully completing both the work hours and the coursework, you'll graduate and test to achieve journeyman wireman status, opening doors to long-term career opportunities.
