Does A Navy Construction Electrician Count As A Journeyman Electrician For Civilians?
How exactly does it work when im trying to find another job after im done with A-school? Would i be considered a Journeyman electrician or would i have to go through an apprenticeship through a union? Also would it be easier to get a job as an electrician?
No. You would have to be in the apprenticeship program to document your time as an electrician. After “A” school and when you get to your first duty station contact your battalion’s carreer councelor. He will have all the information you’ll need.
I’m not sure, but if you can, join the union, even if you don’t have to. What with the economic problems we currently have, workers are going to need to unite if you don’t want to get screwed over.
Unions made it possible for blue collar workers to get a living wage and be able to afford to own a home and send their kids to college. They brought everyone’s standard of living up in the 1940s and 50s, not just their members.
The union movement wasn’t just about getting more money for it’s members, it was about social justice for everyone.
We need to get back to that in these trying times.
It would be easier to get a job as an electrician, but I doubt any state would grant you time off of their field requirements.
This is because you need experience in the Same type of work you will be doing in the field. So you would not be considered a Journeyman.
You may want to get your license by working your way up through a local contractor.
There are many ways to do it too. Go to the site I link below and you’ll find all the answers you need for getting into the electrical trade.
Good Luck!http://www.electrician-electricalcontrac…
No. You’d still have to go to the union apply. My guess is that at least some of your military time would count toward your apprenticeship.
In most places you don’t need to be in the union to work, you just need to pass the state exam for your electrician’s license.
