The electrical program is a multi-year program that provides students with hands-on skills, knowledge, and attitude needed to begin their career in the electrical industry. Students will explore, and identify how to safely work around, electricity. Students will spend time building and understanding electrical circuits, practice with and learn the safe and proper use of working with common electrical tools and electrical materials, practice bending; cutting; and threading electrical conduit, use full scale construction drawings to become proficient in reading blueprints, install a residential electrical service, electrical panel, and common residential electrical devices. Throughout the program, students will be given the opportunity to tour, work with, and apply for local electrical apprenticeships and local industry leaders. Students will spend time working on their math and measurement skills needed for passage through an electrical apprenticeship. Students will demonstrate employability skills; practicing needed communication skills, expected workplace skills, and collaborative team skills.
Successful completion of the electrical program will result in receiving certification of Interim Credentialing and can provide advanced placement into the Des Moines Electrical Apprenticeship.
