Electrician at Brockton Electricians Local 223

The Brockton Electricians Local 223 sponsors this union electrician apprenticeship based in Taunton, Massachusetts. Administered through a Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee (JATC), this program combines paid, on-the-job experience with structured classroom instruction under the IBEW framework, giving apprentices a strong foundation in both the practical and theoretical sides of the trade.

The program runs for five years and includes 8,000 hours of on-the-job training alongside 576 hours of related technical instruction. Apprentices learn residential, commercial, and industrial wiring techniques; electrical theory; the National Electrical Code; conduit installation; blueprint reading; and safe work practices. All training is paid, so apprentices earn a wage from day one while progressively building their skills.

Upon completing the program, graduates earn journeyman electrician status — a nationally recognized credential that opens doors to steady, well-paying careers in construction, maintenance, and beyond. Union membership through IBEW Local 223 also provides access to negotiated wages, benefits, and continued training opportunities throughout a career in the electrical trade.
