IBEW Mentoring Program Prepares Local Residents for a Career in the Electrical Trades

by Jackie Tortora, AFL-CIO

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 11 has a successful mentoring program designed to help underserved communities prepare for careers in the electrical trades. Before applicants take their entrance exam at the IBEW/NECA Electrical Training Institute in Commerce, Calif., IBEW mentors provide support and guidance for obtaining GEDs, make sure candidates have the algebra requirements and help them to study for the exam.

Learn more about the program by visiting IBEW Local 11 website or by  watching the YouTube video by clicking  HERE.
