How to join IBEW Local 1

Each Electricians local sets its own intake process, and it varies — we don't guess at IBEW Local 1's rules. The common paths into a Electricians local:

Apprenticeship — Apply through the local's joint apprenticeship training committee (JATC). Most Electricians programs open applications on a set schedule and require an aptitude test and interview.
Organize in as an experienced worker — Journeymen and technicians already working in the trade can usually apply directly to the hall for membership.
Transfer from another local — Members of the same international can request a transfer card through their current hall.
