IEC has a chapter …
IEC has a chapter in New Jersey and another one in Connecticut that offers apprenticeship training. I suggest you call Joe Esposito at IEC New Jersey phone, 973.334.4744 and discuss your future and the current job market in New Jersey.
If relocation is an option there may be other possibilities. Go to the web address at the end of the video and select IEC chapters. Call the chapter and ask them about training. Not all chapters offer apprentice training.

Thank You
Depending on your …
Depending on your duties after graduation you may need to know simple math through trigonometry functions.
You will be required to do basic algebra. You will be asked to calculate amps when given watts and volts. You must be able to determine how many and what size wires you need, then calculate the size of the conduit big enough to hold the wires. You must be able to select the fuse or circuit breaker rating.

You have selected an excellent IEC chapter for your apprenticeship. Stay in the program and complete it. Math is a problem for some. Talk to the administrators of the program if you get discouraged.

Many products list …
Many products list the watts and volts of a products. Electricians need to know the amps so they can determine the size of the wire to be used. Electricians use the formula; watts = volts X amps and solve for amps. They can then determine the size of the cable needed to wire the equipment. This in one of many examples of how an electrician would use algebra.

Near the end of the video, a web address and a phone number are posted. Go to the web address and find the chapter nearest you.
