How to read these
Finished is the share of students who completed the program, out of everyone who left it. Working is the share of those who finished with a job 7 to 9 months later, not counting self-employed people. Pay is the median the state publishes for the program. All of them cover the latest 3 years of data. The state publishes results by type of program at each school. Here the type is “Industrial Electronics Technology/Technician.”
What it counts for
- The nonresidential maintenance (07) certificate needs 4,000 hours of work as a trainee, supervised at least 75% of the time, and 48 hours of approved classes before the exam. No apprenticeship is needed.
- This program counts for up to half of those hours, 2,000 at most, and toward this one certificate only.
- Later, if you join an apprenticeship to become a general electrician, it must count the certificate’s 4,000 hours toward its 8,000.
- You need an L&I training certificate the whole time you’re enrolled.
