Three training programs. One goal: a strong, successful career.
At METI, we offer three distinct pathways into the electrical industry — all backed by union strength, employer demand, and real career outcomes. Whether you prefer structured classroom learning or hands-on experience, there's a path here that fits your style and sets you up for long-term success.
Each training program prepares you for a different type of electrical work and leads to professional certification — from Journeyman Wireman to Certified Technician — through union-backed jobsite experience and practical training.
