Train to become a skilled Electrician

Enjoy the challenge and responsibility that come with a career that can connect you with exciting opportunities. Electricity is essential to everyday life and qualified electricians are needed for residential, commercial and industrial work, as well as the quickly emerging energy technologies such as wind turbines.

Electricians work both indoors and out, at constructions sites, businesses, and factories. You have the opportunity to work for small or large companies or even own your own business. If you enjoy working with your hands and are fascinated by electricity, then this is a great career for you.

There are currently four Lincoln campuses that offer training programs in this field:
