Typically employers that offer formal apprenticeships require applicants to at minimum have a high school diploma and basic algebra. Often they will use testing as part of the selection process. If you go through a formal registered apprenticeship program, classes will be required. The North Carolina Apprenticeship Act is managed by the NCDOL.
Each state has different rules regarding the licensing of electricians. Some states require all apprentices to be registered and go through a formal program in order to become eligible to sit for the journeyman examination. Other states don't require any licensing for electricians, and only require electrical contractors to be licensed. http://www.ncbeec.org/
If you're looking for a formal electrical apprenticeship, I'm sure the apprenticeship coordinator at the college may also be able to help you with names of companies participating in the state program and the classes required.
Salem Electric Co
We are involved in a state supported Electrical Apprenticeship Program in conjunction with Forsyth Technical Community College. In doing so, we are able to provide you the very best as your chosen residential, commercial or industrial electric company. This is a four-year program requiring 500 hours of classroom training and 8000 hours of on-the-job training.
The apprentices that work for us are required to attend two classes per week between September and August in their first four years. This allows us to employ the most competent residential and commercial electrical contractor team. For more information on our residential and commercial electrical contractor apprentice program or any other questions, please call us today.
