Perry Technical Institute ETPL

The objective of the Electrical Technology (ELEC) program is to provide students with curriculum that guides them through the process of becoming electricians. Students are introduced to the generation and distribution of AC/, residential and commercial wiring methods, industrial motor controls and electronics, as well as utilizing green technologies such as solar. During classroom, lab and fieldwork experiences, students gain valuable theory while incorporating current NEC codes and WAC/RCW rules, laws, and procedures with handson applications. This training program concludes with an externship off campus or with the completion of a capstone project on campus.

 

The ELEC program is 24 months in length (eight quarters). The student will earn 176.5 credit hours which are 3,000 clock hours. 

 

The student to instructor ratio for the ELEC program is no greater than 24:1. The student to (01) journey level electrician ratio when performing fieldwork for the school is 4:1.

Careers for graduates

Data is unavailable for one of several reasons: In some cases, the institution has not provided the Workforce Board with data to independently evaluate program performance. We encourage all schools to provide this data on an annual basis. In other cases, the program joined Career Bridge recently and student data has not been reported yet. In other cases, the program is too small or too new to provide reliable results.
