WASHINGTON · ELECTRICIAN · REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIPS
Electrician apprenticeships in Washington: where each ladder starts and what the top rung pays.
Thirty-four active programs sit on Washington's registry (the state's official program list), all drawn to one dollar scale so the heights compare honestly. The bottom of each ladder is pay on day one; the top is the journey rate. Check the address on a program's registration before you go: it's usually an office or a hall, not a job site. These figures are the registry's own. The registry also lists marine electrician programs. They're not on this page: completing one reaches no license class on the licensing page. It lists industrial plant maintenance electrician programs too, and those aren't here either, for a different reason: the department accepts completion for the specialty exam only where the hours were worked under a certified supervising electrician by an apprentice holding a trainee certificate, and nothing in the registry or in these programs' own standards shows it.
