An LRT apprentice is an entry-level electrical trainee enrolled in an apprenticeship program to learn the concepts and skills necessary to become an Oregon licensed technician. An apprentice is required to participate in a combination of classroom education and paid on-the-job experience. Skills that are typically covered in these programs include how to design, install and repair commercial or residential solar electric systems.
Apprentices work under the observation of a journey-level LRT electrician, building basic skills and gaining additional tasks and responsibilities as they improve.
LRT Electricians must follow the National Electric Code and comply with State and local building codes when they install these systems.
