The health and safety of our Electrician Trainee, Journeyman Continuing Education, and General students is a top concern at WECA, and we have been closely watching news and recommendations from the CDC and state and local authorities. We are taking measures to ensure that WECA continues to serve its students with a minimum of disruption, while also prioritizing health and safety.
Please review the information below for changes to upcoming onsite lab scheduling and in-person classroom courses, in response to the growing spread of COVID-19 in California.
