Your hours count toward a license
Florida doesn't issue a state license to individual electricians. A city or county can issue you a journeyman license, and completing a registered apprenticeship meets one of the requirements for it.

Pay: Each program pays you from day one. FDOE reports your pay on day one and your pay at completion (your hourly pay by the time you complete the program) as yearly figures. The hourly rates are the yearly figures divided by 2,080 hours.
FDOE lists 57 programs under its occupation code for electricians, and its annual report doesn't give pay for 32 of them. To find out what one of those programs pays, ask the program.
Every bar uses the same scale. The city is the one on the program's registration, and it's often an office or a union hall.
