Norco College partners with the Inland Empire Electrical Training Center (IEETC) and IBEW Locals 440 and 477 to support registered electrician apprenticeship programs. Apprentices complete their related instruction through IEETC while earning Norco College credit toward an approved certificate or associate degree.

How to Apply

Applicants must apply directly through IEETC when an application period is available. IEETC determines all application dates, eligibility requirements, testing, interviews, and apprentice selection. Norco College does not manage or guarantee admission into the apprenticeship.

After being selected by IEETC, apprentices complete the Norco College enrollment process and become Norco College students. Apprenticeship courses are delivered through the training center and are not part of Norco College’s traditional open-enrollment class schedule.
