The Alaska Joint Electrical Apprenticeship Training Trust offers training in three classifications of the electrical industry. 

1. Inside Wireman
2. Outside Power Lineman 
3. Communication (Telephone) worker

All classifications require 8,000 hours of on-the-job training along with related classroom instruction. There is no tuition cost to the apprentices other than the price of books required for the classes. However the apprentices are responsible for their expenses while attending school. Apprentices may draw unemployment if they are otherwise eligible. While on the job, apprentices are paid a percentage of Journeyman scale, depending on how many hours they have worked in the program.

Applications for the electrical apprenticeship are taken year round at the Training Centers. In order to be considered for the apprenticeship, the applicant must meet the six eligibility requirements listed. 

Before an application may be filled out, the applicant must document the first five listed qualifications. 

1. A copy of a birth certificate or other official document showing date of birth such as a passport.
2. A copy of high school diploma or GED certificate (if high school diploma is not available, a graduating date on official transcripts will substitute).
3. An official copy of high school transcripts (an official copy is a set of transcripts that are certified by the issuing school with an official seal or stamp, and delivered to the Training Center or Hall in a sealed envelope either by mail or by hand).
