Electrical Careers with Chico Electric + WECA
The WECA Electrician Trainee (ET) Program
WECA’s state-approved Electrician Trainee program is available to students throughout the state of California. All classes are exclusively taught by experienced electrical industry professionals.
Attend classes online (your choice of instructor-led or self-paced); choose hands-on learning labs or online interactive labs
Electrician Trainees who undertake their education at WECA can choose from a variety of courses. Many are part of WECA's GetWired program, and are conducted online over instructor-led live webcast in the evenings, allowing Electrician Trainees to attend after work, and without having to travel. Students also participate in hands-on electrical labs at WECA's modern training facilities. Many courses include 1-2 onsite instructor-led lab days, on weekends, to allow Electrician Trainees to practice and develop hands-on electrical skills that complement what they’re learning in class. Other courses are fully online, either instructor-led or self-paced.
By enrolling in WECA's ET Program, you are committing to your education and developing your skills for your career in the electrical trade. If you complete the full program successfully, you will earn an Electrician Trainee Program Certificate from WECA. The State of California accepts this certificate as proof of education completion when applying to take a General or Residential Electrician certification exam.
