  I applied for the residential electrician apprenticeship program in September of 2020 with the Southwest Washington Electrical JATC. I was told for months that interviews would not be happening because of Covid-19 which was understandable. I finally was invited to an interview in April of 2021 and I was placed in a rank of 11. I called back about a month later and was told by Kathy that no trainers were taking any one on as an apprentice as of that moment. I finally called back on November 5, 2021 and was informed by Kathy that I am now ranked at 16. I come from a electrical background in California where I worked as an electrician for small businesses that did not require me to be certified for many years. I moved to Washington state in August 2020 and planed on doing things correctly by getting certified through the state of Washington. The Southwest Washing JATC in Tacoma, WA has a horrible system for taking on apprentices. Very frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are only looking for perfection with their opinionated beliefs. They do not take in consideration an individuals excellent work history. Unless you are perfect in their eyes, do not apply or you most likely will not be taken on as an apprentice once two years has passed.

  Shockingly good interaction with staff. They are always positive, and never short. Though always well grounded, they don't get much of a charge out of electrical puns. I guess they either lack the power, or just capacity to appreciate them. #LifeChoices

  Was here for an aptitude test. Started on time without any hiccups.
