Registered apprenticeship · 3 occupations
CENTRAL FLORIDA ELECTRICAL JATC
A registered apprenticeship on file with Florida DOE, covering 3 occupations in this trade.
The occupations
Not a state license: Florida issues no electrician license to a person. Cities and counties issue journeyman licenses, and the statute names completing a registered apprenticeship as one of three standards for them, together with a proctored exam and approved coursework. The licensing page sets out where both halves stand.3
Same program, 3 occupations. The registry lists different hours and pay for each.
| Occupation | Program length, in hours | Pay at program start | By program completion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrician | The registry does not publish this one. | $8.00/hr2 | $15.85/hr2 |
| Electrician (Interior) | The registry does not publish this one. | $11.50/hr2 | $22.90/hr2 |
| Electrician (Maintenance) | 8,000 hours1 | $9.00/hr2 | $18.33/hr2 |
The pay steps
You are paid from day one. Florida publishes what each program's standards pay at program start and by program completion. The registry does not publish the wage steps in between.
Electrician
The program-start figure is 50% of the program-completion figure. Both dollar figures come from the registry; we calculated the percentage.
Electrician (Interior)
The program-start figure is 50% of the program-completion figure. Both dollar figures come from the registry; we calculated the percentage.
Electrician (Maintenance)
The program-start figure is 49% of the program-completion figure. Both dollar figures come from the registry; we calculated the percentage.
The figure at program start is the rate in this program's registered standards. Florida's minimum wage is higher than it, and pay on the job has to meet the minimum wage in force.
These two figures are what the program standards schedule. What people who finished were actually observed earning is a different measure and is further down.
The hours
- Program length, in hours
- 8,000 hours1
What people earned after finishing
The state matches people who completed a program against its own wage records and reports what those found working in Florida earned: the average of each apprentice's best four quarters, as a year of pay. Completers who moved away, went self-employed or stopped working are not in these figures at all.
- Electrician: A year after finishing
- too few completers to report: the state masks a cohort under four
- Electrician: Five years after finishing
- no wage data: no completers that year, no program that year, or none found working
- Electrician (Interior): A year after finishing
- $79,876.532
- Electrician (Interior): Five years after finishing
- $83,904.892
- Electrician (Maintenance): A year after finishing
- $78,126.502
- Electrician (Maintenance): Five years after finishing
- $87,078.802
These are earnings the state observed, not rates set by any program standards. They come from the same annual report as the wage figures above.

See where the license actually sits
Florida issues no license to a person in this trade: the state licenses contractors, and cities and counties license journeymen, unevenly. The statute names completing a registered apprenticeship among three standards for the journeyman licenses they are authorized to issue. The Florida electrician licensing page sets out where both halves stand, each with its source.

Florida publishes this registry as two workbooks: a sponsor roster it overwrites in place, and the wage appendix of its annual apprenticeship report. Every figure above is the registry’s own, read on the day beside it.
