For those who are considering becoming an electrician, getting an apprenticeship can be an extremely effective way to break into the business. That said, it's important to choose wisely when picking an electrician to apprentice under. Be sure to sit down for an interview with at least three candidates, explaining what you're looking for out of an internship. Also, ask whether or not they feel they can devote the time to helping you learn the trade, as an ineffective apprenticeship will serve as a waste of time for both parties involved.
