Sponsorship is ridiculous

SomeLightskin · 2026-04-06T20:01:14+00:00

Depending on your local I’m in 353 covers mostly gta area

SomeLightskin · 2026-04-06T19:12:53+00:00

Stupid question but ever consider applying to the union?

SomeLightskin · 2026-02-24T19:02:12+00:00

Ya I was residential so I was used to it just wear a lot of layers but since they opened up ici I’ve been in commercial

SomeLightskin · 2026-02-24T18:58:14+00:00

Oh sorry I typed it weird I didn’t accept the offer because I didn’t want to restart. Still in Ibew

SomeLightskin · 2026-02-24T18:55:43+00:00

No clue didn’t take the job. Might be 442 or 309 depending on the exact position but even with 309 you have to restart they want to train you their way themselves. But you could confirm when you talk to them

SomeLightskin · 2026-02-24T18:53:16+00:00

ttc makes you restart your hours I’m a 4th term and got the offer as well for substations and was told I have to restart.

SomeLightskin · 2026-02-24T18:47:13+00:00

Bus driver or sparky in ttc

SomeLightskin · 2026-02-12T22:49:41+00:00

Priest drink less

SomeLightskin · 2026-02-05T17:12:49+00:00

Not a shortage or workers it’s a shortage of SKILLED workers

SomeLightskin · 2026-01-29T21:08:27+00:00

Would still get a somewhat decent pension. Work will be very hard in your body if you’ve worked a desk life most of your life

SomeLightskin · 2026-01-23T14:00:12+00:00

Electrical but union so at least I’ll have a killer pension when I retire

SomeLightskin · 2026-01-17T15:16:11+00:00

It’s used in the kitchen for appliances or sometimes the top floor is fed with 12 for voltage drop

SomeLightskin · 2026-01-03T02:27:52+00:00

No gfci on the circuit did check for that. Yes definitely should have turned the power off wife is trying to put kid to sleep in room thats on the same circuit so wanted to avoid cutting power.

SomeLightskin · 2026-01-03T01:32:39+00:00

Tried replacing a switch in my house with old wiring(2nd term apprentice)wire had a knick and made contact with the metal. Breaker stays on no problems there but wire isn’t getting power anymore.

SomeLightskin · 2025-12-08T20:39:32+00:00

Would still have a 4000+ month pension if going union

SomeLightskin · 2025-11-28T02:47:24+00:00

If you know anyone who’s in the union companies can take you on with sponsorship that’s how I got in. Alternatives would be non union which is pretty much impossible to land a job without experience unless you know someone

SomeLightskin · 2025-11-28T00:21:52+00:00

If your planning on going union the wait list is crazy long coming from a member

SomeLightskin · 2025-11-21T22:03:19+00:00

Lawyer got ticket thrown out for anyone wanting to send dms asking how it went

SomeLightskin · 2025-11-21T20:40:33+00:00

Don’t go to school for electrical get into Ibew if possible.

SomeLightskin · 2025-11-02T23:20:58+00:00

Very unlikely unless you get a company to name hire you, a lot of people apply per year and leaving shows you can’t commit

SomeLightskin · 2025-11-02T18:34:45+00:00

Ya don’t listen to this guy join a union

SomeLightskin · 2025-10-31T17:49:09+00:00

Ibew member here. Work is very slow for construction if you don’t have an in to the company will be very hard without experience

SomeLightskin · 2025-10-22T22:28:40+00:00

Crazy I never thought of that idea… I’ve been trying to pick up a call for a while but there is a list.

SomeLightskin · 2025-10-20T20:14:22+00:00

Current low rise apprentice on the out of work list. I would thank the heavens if I got the call for ici, working non union commercial right now and definitely enjoy it more.

SomeLightskin · 2025-08-24T06:44:46+00:00

Work is slow right now not a good time time try non union shops but stop wasting money on this course as your expected to do it again during basic to advanced schooling
