Twenty-four programs with pay the state publishes, drawn to one dollar scale. The bottom of each ladder is pay at program start. The top is pay by program completion. The state files 57 programs under the occupation code for this trade. Its annual report publishes pay at 25 of them; the other 32 are counted here and not priced. One of the 25 is missing from this board as well: the registry lists that program's occupation three ways and the report does not say which of them its pay belongs to. 7 of these programs list a starting rate below Florida's minimum wage. Those rates are the ones in each program's registered standards, and pay on the job has to meet the minimum wage in force. Florida publishes both figures as annual dollars. The hourly rates here are those figures divided by 2,080 hours, which is the divisor each wage cell in that report divides by to an exact cent. Check the address on a program's registration before you go: it's usually an office or a hall, not a job site.

Each card opens that program's page. The program itself is the only place to ask about applying; this site publishes no contacts.

02 THE LICENSE

Florida issues no electrician license to a person. The state licenses contractors, and Fla. Stat. 489.5335 authorizes counties and municipalities to issue journeyman licenses in the electrical and alarm system trades to someone who meets three standards together: a proctored examination passed at seventy-five percent or better, on a specific approved examination; completion of a registered and state-approved apprenticeship program, or twelve thousand hours of on-the-job training in their own trade; and specialized and advanced module coursework approved by the Florida Building Commission. Where any county or municipality in the state has issued that license, the others must recognize the person as a journeyman in those trades.
