The Web.  Local Area Networks.  Electronic Commerce.

These communications industries rely on great new ideas, high-speed access to the Internet. They also rely on something installed everyday by our industry: wires and cables.
That's right:  With a three-year telecommunications apprenticeship in your area, you could be making these systems work - and repairing, replacing, modifying, and upgrading them everyday. Course work covers all kinds of systems, including fiber optics, fire and life safety systems, security installations, and voice and data technologies.

When building owners and tenants have network wiring problems, they need a professional telecom installer/technician and he or she becomes the most important person in the building! As a telecom tech working for one of our industry's contractors, that person would be you.

Demand for skilled installer/technicians is still increasing. With the technologies changing rapidly, this is a great job for someone who wants his or her career to include new information and constant learning.
