Considerable prior experience

A worker may begin at one of several levels, based on the extent of their prior experience
Have you worked in the electrical field, and can you provide proof of prior electrical experience? (W-2s, pay stubs etc.) 
Based on hours of experience, you would be placed in the Construction Worker/Construction Electrician (CW/CE) program. This is an hours-based advancement program with many benefits. These positions are not apprenticeships.

Inside Construction Electrician (CE):  CEs have several thousand hours of prior electrical experience.
Range is CE-1 through CE-3.  CE-1 starting wage is 65% of Inside Journeyman wage, or $29.17, plus benefits.
CE-1s have at least 6,000 hours of prior electrical experience, and can provide documentation of that prior experience (such as W-2s, pay stubs).
