Testimonials

“I heard about the IBEW from my teacher. I was hooked then. I’m surprised more people aren’t in the union. You have no student loan debt. You get paid for going to school. Why go into debt? Why not take a gamble on this first. Once you take that gamble, you won’t turn back.”

“It’s a really great career choice, because we have good health insurance and really good retirement.”

Sean F.
– Journeyman Wireman

It’s always good to be a part of something where you feel accepted at home, you feel accepted, and you’re a part of something great. It’s a bunch of people that come together as craftsmen and put out a quality product.

“It boils down to training. We have the training that they just do not provide. We have a 5-year apprenticeship program. We have superior training that they just cannot match.”
