About the Program

The Electrician Apprenticeship Technologies program is based on the Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) Oregon State Apprenticeship Training Council and local Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee related training standards. It combines full-time, on-the-job work experience with trade-related theoretical instruction. The degree is available only to BOLI-registered apprentices or electricians holding a journey-level card. If you are interested in becoming a registered apprentice in an Oregon state apprenticeship program, contact the Apprenticeship office at [email protected]. RCC supports the following BOLI-ATD trades: limited maintenance electrician (4,000-hour trade); inside electrician, limited manufacturing plant electrician, and sign maker/erector (8,000-hour trades).

The AAS degree is a credential within Rogue Community College’s Electrician Apprenticeship Pathway.
