Apprentice
Apprenticeship is an opportunity for individuals to learn a career skill through hands-on and application-based training, not just in a classroom and reading about it in a book. American Line Builders Apprenticeship Training (also known as ALBAT) apprentices are full-time employees of electrical contractors and earn excellent pay and benefits while developing skills from master craftsmen on the job. Apprentices earn while they learn, meaning you get paid to do the job and you learn while you are on the job.
