Currently, we are partnering with:

Elder High School and Western Hills High School. They take the interim credentials classes at our facility 2 days a week during the day in their senior year.

Taylor High School facilitates the Interim Credentials class at their High School one period a day during their senior year in the career academy class.

Prior to graduation, if students are interested in the apprenticeship as their career path, they are urged to start the process and if accepted they are able to start employment and apprenticeship with advanced standing after graduation.

In the PDF file link provided below is the instructors guide and syllabi for The Interim Credentials Program, which has been designed for advanced placement into any of the 270 IBEW/NECA Electrical Training Centers across the United States. Once the student completes the mastery of the Interim Credentials program and graduates high school, he or she can present their completion certificate to a training center for consideration. This would be credited during the interview and be recognized as interest in the electrical field. Final entry into an IBEW/NECA apprenticeship program is dependent on the results of the training center’s selection process.  The syllabus details all the modules (topics) of each of the five courses.

Currently, the Ohio Department of Education recognizes this program as a 12 point credential toward graduation.

To activate a your high school

• Have a high school representative call or Email Chris Fridel at Cfridel@electricaltc.org  513-372-6512 and let him know that you are interested.
• He will put you in contact with the person that takes care of this.
• You will be sent a PDF form that an administrator will fill out and return—this asks for information such as official school name, address, administration contacts, etc.
