State of Michigan - New Rules for Apprentice Electricians

Effective September 1, 2010, all electrical apprentices in the State of Michigan are required to be participating in an electrical training program approved by the Electrical Administrative Board (EAB).

On February 6, 2009 the EAB approved the Bureau of Construction Codes Electrical Division recommendation to utilize the United States Department of Labor Office of Apprenticeship (USDOLOA) for the registration of all approved electrical training programs.

Initially the two main requirements are
(1) Electrical contractors that currently employ or anticipate the employment of electrical apprentices must register their companies with the USDOLOA

(2) Once an employer has registered with the USDOLOA they can set up their apprenticeship training program with the USDOLOA and register the apprentices under their employment. Registration with the USDOLOA for electrical contractors and the apprentices they employ is mandatory.

Failure to comply with these requirements will make an apprentice ineligible to sit for the journeyman electrician examination.

I personally believe this is what Florida needs. There is a lack of experienced journeyman that have received approved teaching of theory in our field in this state. The only training for appentices at this time that is not union apprenticeship training is through ABCI. This program follows no federal mandates and the drop out rates are high. There needs to be a better program put together that contractors feel is worth the money. As a former instructor for ABC in maryland and it being an approved apprenticeship program via the labor department this is what Florida needs to bring qualified people into the field here.
