Testimonials from our alumni are actual pre-apprentices pursuing live line work after completing the National Public Power Program. We do offer a paid incentive for their feedback after graduating.

The National Public Power Pre-Apprenticeship Program is a Pre-Apprenticeship and prepares students for Registered Apprenticeships. The National Public Power Pre-Apprenticeship Program is not and does not claim to be a registered apprenticeship program through the Department of Labor.

The Registered Apprenticeship system combines supervised on-the-job training with technical classroom instruction in subjects related to the apprentice's chosen occupation. The apprentice has the opportunity to earn a living while gaining skills, and pay raises are awarded throughout the program as skills increase. The intent of this program is to better prepare trainees for registered apprenticeships.
