  • Apprentice electrician indentured in a state-approved apprenticeship.

  • Electrician trainee enrolled in an electrician trainee program within a state approved school.

  • The Sacramento IBEW/NECA Electrical Training Center (SETC) is an approved school (#105) in partnership with American River College (ARC).
