The electrical construction industry is becoming more technical each day. A good candidate for the apprenticeship program is one with a good school record, especially in math and science. We're looking for reliable individuals with a positive attitude and a desire to work hard and succeed. Qualifications for the apprenticeship program include:

• Must be at least 18 years of age.
  
  
• Must be a high school graduate or have a GED.
  
  
• Minimum math - must have completed one full year of high school Algebra with a passing grade or one post high school Algebra course with a passing grade.
  
  
• Qualify for an interview by taking the NJATC aptitude test. (This test will be given by the Dakotas JATC.)
  
  
• Must be physically able to perform the work.
  
  
• Must provide official transcript(s) for high school and post high school showing courses and grades.
  
  
• Pass a pre-employment drug test.
  
  
• Character and personal traits are important. A friendly attitude with a willingness to ask questions to learn earns an apprentice the respect of his/her fellow workers. No matter what job they are asked to do, the apprentice does it willingly. They should be a pleasant person who gets along well with others. An electrician's job involves cooperation and team work, and an apprentice must work within that team.
