Program Description
Students entering into the Electrical Technology program must possess good
math skills and mechanical aptitude. They must also demonstrate the ability to
work with abstract concepts.
Electrical Technology students work with all the standard equipment and
materials used in the industry. Emphasis is placed on reading and understanding
blueprints and various types of mechanical drawings, and interpreting theory
and codes associated with the industry.
Upon completion of the Electrical Technology program, students can choose
many basic or specialty areas. These areas include home wiring, industrial and
manufacturing, fire and burglar alarms, electrical distribution, programmable
controllers, and energy management systems.
Massachusetts law requires all
individuals in the electrical industry to serve an apprenticeship before
applying for the required license. Part of this requirement is fulfilled by the
training received at GNB Voc-Tech. The remainder is done through on-the-job
training upon completion of the program.
Students often proceed directly into the workplace as apprentice
electricians or further their education in areas such as electrical
engineering, electrical drafting and estimating.
