where can i get an apprenticeship for being an electrician

Q: i am 13 live in san jose california im 13 apprentice ship for electrician or plumber or carpenter

A: Local 232 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) is this area's branch of the national union. The local has an extensive training program for apprentice electricians. They have three different programs. One is for residential wiring, another is on commercial and industrial wiring, and a third program focuses in voice, data and video. Go to this Web page to learn more about the IBEW apprentice program: http://www.ibew332.org/uniontraining.htm All three programs require you to have a drivers license, to have high school diploma or GED and to have completed some high school math. The exact requirements differ slightly, depending on the particular apprenticeship you want. Everything is explained on the Web site. You may also be able to get a jump start on the apprenticeship program through vocational training in high school Ask the guidance counselor at your current school whether there is a vocational program in high school that will teach you electrical work while you get your diploma. That can really shorten the time between when you get out of high school and the time you start to earn a good income. I wish you very good luck, and I hope this helps.
