Important Reminders about Supervision Requirements for WECA Apprentices

Tuesday, September 24, 2019

Please read this brief refresher and overview of Apprentice supervision requirements as they apply to our Apprentices:

  • All Commercial & Residential Apprentices must be supervised by a Certified Electrician or the C10 holder for the Company.
  • All Low Voltage Apprentices must be supervised by a qualified journey-level technician.
  • The supervision requirement for all WECA's Apprenticeship programs is 1 Apprentice to 1 Journey-person.  A Certified Journey-person may supervise 1 Apprentice and 1 Electrician Trainee.
  • The supervising journey-person must lay out the work for the day, ensure the apprentice has proper instruction / training on how to perform the task and that the apprentice is able to perform the task safely
  • The supervision journey-person does not have to stand over the apprentices shoulder but must be on the same job site and available to the apprentice at all times.
  1. If there is no supervising journey-person on the job site with you or if you feel you are not being properly supervised you should contact your company's human resources department and then WECA if the issue is not resolved.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Wendy Flanagan, Assistant Director of Apprenticeship, by email at wflanagan@goweca.com
