Greenville Technical College and NCCER
The electrical industry is one that is dynamic, complex, and exciting. Our program consists of primarily in-class training with hands-on work opportunities in a range of environments. We utilize on-the-job training to supplement class time. We specialize in industrial and commercial installations, as well as airfield runway lighting.
When asked for their feedback on our apprenticeship program, these are some of the responses we received from our apprentices:
“Being in the apprenticeship program has given me a clear path forward within this trade and a means of advancing my knowledge and employability.” - Evan Tate
“I am very happy to be in the program, it helps me a lot to do better quality work. Personally, it improves my knowledge in areas that I was not familiar with. I am very happy that the company gives me support, hoping to give a better response in the future of the jobs I have to do.” - Ricardo Rincon
“I really appreciate being able to take the NCCER classes, I’ve noticed if you really take the time to memorize everything that’s taught it helps you understand the code book better. NCCER teaches some things taught in the journeyman prep class more in depth like load calculations.” - Austyn Perez
