Crater Lake Electrical Training Center is Ready!


The 68 electrical apprentices at the Crater Lake Electrical Training Center in Central Point, Oregon, are getting ready for jobs in the wind and solar industries.

Whether enrolled in the 20-year residential electrical program or the 5-year wireman’s program, these apprentices will study photo-voltaic systems installation in addition to the rigorous electricians curriculum.

They’ll complete the program with journey level certification and an electrician’s license, enabling them to earn a family wage with benefits in the green economy.

The Training Center also hosts seminars for contractors in collaboration with the Energy Trust of Oregon.
