IBEW Builds Careers and Communities

Strong communities are built by the people who live and work in them. For IBEW NECA 252, that means investing in the skilled electricians who power homes, businesses, schools, and public spaces across the region. The electrical trade doesn’t just build safe, reliable infrastructure; it also creates life-changing career paths that strengthen entire communities.

IBEW NECA apprenticeships offer a unique opportunity: earn a competitive wage while learning a high-demand, highly technical trade. No costly four-year degree is required -- just commitment, training, and the drive to build a better future. Apprentices graduate with world-class skills, industry certifications, and a stable, well-paying career that can support a family for decades.

But the impact goes far beyond individual success. Skilled union electricians bring quality, safety, and professionalism to every job. Whether they’re wiring a school addition, upgrading hospital systems, installing EV chargers, or supporting local construction, their work directly improves residents' daily lives.

Union careers also create stronger local economies. Electricians spend, live, and raise families in the communities they serve. They contribute to local businesses, volunteer organizations, and neighborhood initiatives, giving back in meaningful ways. Their stable wages support strong tax bases, helping fund schools, public services, and community development.

IBEW NECA 252 is proud to build both careers and communities. When electricians have access to training, safety, and fair wages, the entire region benefits. Together, we’re powering progress -- one project, one apprenticeship, and one neighborhood at a time.
