2. CW/CE Training Program
Prefer learning by doing? The CW/CE (Construction Wireman/Construction Electrician) track is a self-paced, hands-on alternative for people who want to build their skills while working in the field. You’ll get paid as you learn and develop real-world expertise that can lead to Journeyman Wireman status — without sitting in a classroom every week.
Key features:
-
Fully hands-on, earn-while-you-learn training
-
Self-paced advancement based on experience and testing
-
Great fit for motivated learners who prefer hands-on learning over classroom instruction
