ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE NCCER

Those individuals interested in how electricity is generated and then travels from the power plant to homes and businesses might consider a career in electrical construction. Electricians install and maintain all of the electrical and power systems for homes, businesses, and factories. They install and maintain the wiring and control equipment through which electricity flows, including electrical equipment and machines in factories and a wide range of other businesses. Electricians are used for wiring new homes, restaurants, schools, and other structures, including older buildings that need improvements to their electrical systems to meet modern building and occupancy codes.

Students enrolled in the Electrical Systems Construction and Maintenance NCCER program will develop skills to work safely in a residential or commercial environment and be prepared to inspect, install, maintain and repair electrical systems. They will learn about direct and alternating circuits, how to interpret electrical prints and schematics, how to wire structures, and how to maintain their operation while applying the National Electric Code.

Program graduates receive a diploma in Electrical Systems Construction and Maintenance NCCER, with a specialization in residential or industrial applications, and three Technical Certificates of Credit―Basic Electrical Systems Technician NCCER, Intermediate Electrical Systems Technician NCCER, and Electrical Systems Assistant. Graduates can begin entry-level jobs in residential or commercial electrical construction. The majority of electricians are employed by electrical contracting firms, while others work in a variety of industries. About 10 percent of electricians are self-employed.
