WECA Member Sponsorship and Reimbursement Models for Electrician Trainee, Journey Worker Continuing Education, and Construction Professional Classes

Discounts for Our Members and Their Employees

-------------------------------------

Reminder: WECA has made it even simpler--and more affordable--for you to sponsor your employees in our non-apprenticeship training programs. 

We know an increasing number of our California contractors are sponsoring their Electrician Trainees' tuition in our Electrician Trainee (GetWired) Certificate Path program. We think that's great! WECA's Electrician Trainee program is another approved training path towards certification in California, with many educational similarities to our apprenticeship program. And many of you are finding that sponsoring your Electrician Trainees' education gives you a competitive advantage in the hiring market, plus helps you to ensure that your employees stay registered with the State of California. 

Your journey worker electricians and low voltage technicians can take our classes for their continuing education requirements, too, and we are an approved provider in California and also a good resource for Arizona, where continuing education is optional but can give you a competitive edge. Your member discounts apply for your journey workers as well.

Our program to educate non-electrician construction professionals in electrical fundamentals (WECA PE to PM program) is a solution for Utah, Arizona, and California alike. And yes—member discounts apply here, too.

Login to your secured member dashboard and navigate to the "Member Discounts on Non-Apprenticeship WECA Training" section, or give us a call for detailed information on the discounts for which you and your employees are eligible as part of your WECA contractor membership. If you're interested in sponsoring your employees' tuition up front, or are interested in reimbursing them for successful completion, give us a call and we can guide you through those options.
