常见问题

• 这个项目训练你成为一名电工吗？

  是的，这个项目涵盖了成为一名电工所必需的信息。 The program is primarily designed to train industrial automation electricians but the knowledge can be used anywhere.

• “建筑电工”和“工业电工”有什么区别？

  Construction electricians install the wiring and electrical components for new installations such as new houses, commercial buildings, and even industrial plants. Once the building is completed the electrician moves on to a new location and sometimes even a new company to start a new job.

  工业电工通常是长期为工厂工作的。 他们负责电气设备的维护。 When the equipment fails the industrial electrician must troubleshoot and repair the equipment to get it back up and running as soon as possible.

• 这个项目训练你成为学徒吗？

  No, the term “apprenticeship” refers to a person who has joined an organization such as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) that puts them to work under a certified electrician for on the job training and they go to school one or two nights a week.

• 什么是“熟练工”？

  Journeyman refers to a person who has completed the training period and has enough experience to be able to do the required work without supervision. Once a person has completed an apprenticeship they become a journeyman. You may also be considered a journeyman if you complete a program like ours and have worked on the job for a period of time to be able to work alone and to supervise others on the job.

• ETEC计划的课程是否得到学徒标准部的认可？

The state of California requires electrical workers to be certified by taking a certification test. 为了通过这个考试，你需要4000小时的工作经验。 By working as an Electrical Trainee you can accumulate the hours you need to take the test.

  The ETEC program at Los Medanos is primarily geared for the Industrial Technician and provides most, but not all of the state's training requirements for an Electrical Trainee. 缺失的部分需要在另一个训练设施进行。

• 该项目如何与PGE的电力路径相关联？

  PG&E的电力路径是一个旨在让人们成为PG&E员工的计划。 In order to enter the PG&E apprenticeship program you must pass a very comprehensive entrance test.

PG&E encourages people to attend LMC’s ETEC program to prepare for their apprenticeship program.
