Electrical Trades
Albany, CTE Extension Center and Schoharie campuses
Experienced electricians are in serious demand. The Electrical Trades program offers students the opportunity to learn basic electrical skills and to progress to the cutting edge of 21st-century green technologies.
Students learn fundamental skills in electrical theory, and through classroom instruction and hands-on shop lessons, they can become successful residential wiring professionals. In each theory class and lab, students construct the circuits discussed, gaining skills and experience as they move from residential into commercial and industrial wiring.
The materials, meters and methods used in Electrical Trades give students an in-depth understanding of their field and the knowledge needed to work with the latest environmentally friendly technologies.
Electrical Trades students may earn advanced standing in the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC), an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) program.
