Interested in becoming an Electrician and earning an average hourly pay of $33.58 per hour and benefits? Check out the opportunities available through Richmond Electricians' JATC program! You can be accepted directly into the apprenticeship program out of high school if you pass the aptitude test and have a successful interview for the program (start this process at least 3 months before hiring). If you are not accepted right away into the program, you can be employed as a Construction Wireman and earn hours toward your apprenticeship instead of passing the aptitude test. Both entryways lead to paid training to become an Electrician and excellent job experience!
