To obtain an electrician's apprentice card, you typically need to enroll in a registered apprenticeship program through a trade school, community college, or a local union. This program will provide the necessary training and education while you gain hands-on experience under the supervision of a licensed electrician. After completing the program requirements, you can apply for the apprentice card through your state’s licensing authority or relevant apprenticeship board. Always check your local regulations, as the process may vary by location.
It's possible to become an electrician by taking vocational courses at the high school or the community college level. The next step, or even done concurrently, is to get into a union apprenticeship program. Both directions lead to licensing as an electrical contractor. Unions often combine vocational and classroom instruction.

When becoming an electrician, you go through a period of apprenticeship.
The career you are most likely to pursue through an apprenticeship is electrician.
