The IBEW Local 26 Joint Electrical Apprenticeship and Training Committee graduated 110 apprentices Saturday in inside wiremen, telecom and upgrade categories. Six apprentices had perfect attendance during their 5-year apprenticeship and another six had only one missed class. Apprenticeship Director David McCord thanked the programs’ 40 plus trainers and instructors as well as the member contractors of the DC Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) “who help produce the best trained electricians in the country.” Graduates start work today as journeyworkers at their new top levels of wages and benefits.
