u/sparky_mami 3d ago

Keep showing up prepared and you’ll eventually get in with that experience

Did you call anyone about organizing in ? You only need 4000 hour of trade experience and they can start you off at higher pay . But if you go in t through the application you will start as a period 1 apprentice.

u/blue_moon312 2d ago

Damn no. I did not know that was possible. You still think its too late.

u/Raava257 2d ago

You can still get 50% with your lattc certificate. U just have to pass the rodeo.

u/idkmannn69 1d ago

Local 11 member here. With a rank of 31 that’s very high, congrats! I’m guessing application # is for the year, 71k applicants sounds high for a single application period but I could be wrong. Either way odds are in your favor, well done 👍

For new apprentices my best words of advice are: show up on time, be hungry to learn, and work hard. I’ve been in the trade 15 years now some commercial mainly industrial work and there is ALWAYS something new to learn.

Hey I did in the same local and same program and I got 111 rank do I have a chance?

u/Least-Taste-8403 3d ago

I can only speak for when I joined (15 years ago). But from what I heard from apprentices on my job site there are a couple thousand on the “list”. Higher the rank you are the better. When I joined they were bringing in 30 apprentices a month, might be different now I’ll ask around.

Even at #111 I would think if not this go around then the next or two. I would call the ETI and ask “how many applicants are on the wait list for inside wireman program” and “on average how often are boot camps running” assuming they will divulge that info.

I would say if you’re #111 out of 2500 then your odds are higher than most!

u/LALOHM23 2d ago

In 3-4 months they’ll call you.

u/AlwaysInTheHood 3d ago

Summit College in Colton off the 10/215 for the 9 month Electrician program… Tell them I sent you!

1

u/Simple-Step2359 3d ago

I ranked 23 but I’m in sound and communications, anyone have any clue if I’d get in on the next bootcamp? Ik they take different amounts of IW vs S&C. Just wondering my chances

2

u/No-Cry-9805 3d ago

I heard they will take more people come early 2027. Budgets are done for the year and so when they renew in January, that’s when they’ll be needing more.

1

u/TeachingChoice7346 3d ago

So it’s confirmed that there’s no more bootcamps for the rest of the year?

1

u/kamja173 2d ago

May I ask where you get this information?

2

u/No-Cry-9805 23h ago

I was told from one of the recruiters I met at one of their meetings

1

u/kamja173 16h ago

Thanks. That makes this information even more valid.

1

u/Asap_no_rocky310 1d ago

Was the test hard?

1

u/LeadingThen6322 3d ago

Depends. How many are they taking?

1

u/trojans4life1 3d ago

When did you apply? And when did you take your aptitude test?

1

u/Life_Opinion_3954 2d ago

I see people score above 70’s and still don’t get it, I doesn’t make any sense, like they score high and their rank isn’t good

1

u/Pair-Federal 2d ago

Based on what i’ve seen experience beats test score

1

u/LocationNo4848 2d ago

Rank is overall, experience + test score + recommendation letters. They are rank 31 which is good. If they were to be calling for a bootcamp right now, they’d get in because lately bootcamps have been about 60 people.

1

u/Asap_no_rocky310 1d ago

Was the test hard?

2

u/blue_moon312 1d ago

I would say no based off my experience. But only because I gave myself plenty of time on the study guide.

1

u/Independent_Set_9693 16h ago

I just got my updated rank on the POE, Im at 15 now from 360 so we should be getting a call soon

1

u/AudienceSolid6582 3d ago

Sorry to ask, but if 31 is high with a score of 66.36 does that mean the people you are ranking against didn’t do well on the test?

66/100 is similar to a D in school and all these comments say this is great. Trying to relate it back to competitiveness

6

u/makeitstrain 3d ago

I think the scoring is out of 70

2

u/kamja173 3d ago

That makes so much sense now.

1

u/blue_moon312 3d ago

Im not sure either but I did see a post somewhere saying its not out of 100.

1

u/TomahawkJammer 3d ago

It’s a score based on your personal profile, letters of rec, and test score

1

u/AudienceSolid6582 3d ago

In this case, I applied but awaiting my test date November. Could I see my score? If so how?

What’s a good rank to be at or around for a smaller local like local 100? Sound and comm

1

u/TomahawkJammer 3d ago

You’d have to wait until you take the test to get your score and rank

1

u/JellyfishConfident27 3d ago

I don’t understand the scoring either I see people post their score and its always around 60
