We Win at the NC State Fair Electrical Apprentice Contest
The North Carolina State Fair Electrical Apprentice Contest lights up the NC State Fair with excitement for skilled trades.
Our apprentices have been a force to be reckoned with at the North Carolina State Fair Electrical Apprentice Contest since 2003. Year after year, they have consistently placed in the top ten, most of the time in the top three, and have won the title an impressive 13 times.
Our apprentices are the best of the best, and we are confident that they will continue to dominate the competition for years to come.
The competition is open to registered third- and fourth-year apprentices who are enrolled in a program recognized by ApprenticeshipNC.
The 2020 North Carolina State Fair Apprentice Contest was not held due to COVID.
