@wire_you_mad: There’s a gap between the pace of the job and teaching the apprentice. The job is graded on production, it is up to the journeyman and the foreman to take the time to develop an apprentice because they truly care about the trade. #electrician #apprentice #bluecollar #sparky #trades
Coming from nonunion, now union, you’re more likely to learn more and faster nonunion, union loves to sell you a dream

Life of I :
You can learn without being “taught” as well. Pay attention to the work and then ask questions to fill in the stuff you can’t just see. A good apprentice will learn the rhythm of the work and anticipate needs.

I told a foreman, once I did not pick up an apprenticeship to learn how to sweep. Either you're going to teach me how to plumb, or I will go to the next foreman, who will 🫡

If you are a foreman and you don’t develop your team than you are not a good foreman

If you are taking on an apprentice it's your job to teach them, they shouldn't have to run around and ask to be trained.
If you don't want work to slow down due to this process then hire an experienced full time worker.

Mildly Concerned :
This is the best description of my first two years in the IBEW apprenticeship 25+yrs ago. Then I got lucky and started working with some old timers that wanted to teach and I learned so much. I remember the name of each guy and what he taught me all these years later. Being a good Brother and a good on the job teacher will stick with an apprentice far longer than being a douchebag to him.

I wanna know what your outcome is for our older brothers that are less than five years away from retirement. We should always give them the semi easy to easy work yes or no.

When I was a 3rd year app my foreman allowed me to do all the layout on the façade buildings in the front of Treasure Island. He was a good one who allowed you to learn and grow. If you are a JE and you see that apprentice who is killing it, HELP HIM LEARN MORE!

Patrick :
I tried to get into the IBEW and was given a whole circle jerk to even try and take the aptitude test because having a GED wasn’t efficient enough for their mathematics bar. So nonunion I went,but I have never seen a trade turn a man down cause he wants to work which the ibew did.
