“CAROL KIM HAS BEEN A TRAILBLAZER IN THE LABOR MOVEMENT. SHE IS THE FIRST WOMAN OF COLOR TO HEAD THE BUILDING TRADES. SHE FOUGHT TO BE THE HEAD OF THE BUILDING TRADES AND WON BECAUSE OF HER TENACIOUS AND FIGHTING SPIRIT. SHE IS A REMARKABLE WOMAN, AND I AM PROUD TO BE WORKING ALONGSIDE HER IN OUR LABOR MOVEMENT. CAROL IS CONSTANTLY PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES IN THIS HISTORIC NEW ERA OF LABOR - WHETHER IT’S GROUNDBREAKING PLA VICTORIES AT SANDAG AND NATIONAL CITY, OR ESTABLISHING COMMUNITY BENEFIT AGREEMENTS TIED TO DEVELOPMENTS - CAROL IS CONSTANTLY PUTTING WORKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES FIRST. THESE NEW PROJECTS WILL INSURE NEW APPRENTICESHIPS AND CAROL HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY OUTREACH FOR THESE APPRENTICESHIPS. I EXPECT THAT CAROL’S ACHIEVEMENTS ARE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG AND I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES SHE BRINGS TO CONTINUE TO EMPOWER THE WORKING MEN AND WOMAN IN SAN DIEGO. BRIGETTE BROWNING, EXECUTIVE SECRETARY-TREASURER OF THE SAN DIEGO & IMPERIAL COUNTIES LABOR COUNCIL

Are you frustrated with no good paying jobs out there? Are you tired of the grind of submitting resumes and job-searching? Are you interested in a quality construction career?

IBEW 569 The Electricians Union

You deserve to get paid what you're worth. Like you, we get mad when we think of college students graduating with a mountain of debt and without a good job. It's just not fair that nobody told you there was a different option: a tuition-free apprenticeship program.

If you’re interested in electrical construction, and building new schools, hospitals, renewable energy, stadiums, housing, and so much more; IBEW Local 569 is here to help you discover your full potential. It's never too late to start fresh. At the end of the day, you just want to take care of your family, live comfortably, and take pride in what you do.

Founded in 1920, IBEW 569 has over 100 years of experience helping electrical workers throughout San Diego and Imperial Counties. At the end of the day, electrical workers want to enjoy an honest day's work for a good day's pay. Live comfortably. Provide for your family. Take pride in what you do. Build a stronger community. IBEW 569 is here for you, and we help our members build a lasting career, get paid what you're worth, and provide for your family with a six-figure potential salary, full family healthcare, and great retirement benefits.

We have apprenticeship opportunities where you “learn while you earn” and entry-level electrical construction jobs we can dispatch you to that will help you gain experience in construction.

Riyad King-Mahdi recently graduated from our apprenticeship and is now a California State Certified Electrician and Journeyman Wireman.

He shares, “the IBEW is more than a career for me, it’s a platform that allowed me to grow into a better person. Not only did this platform benefit myself but it benefited my community as well. The skills that I’ve acquired throughout the apprenticeship, both on-site and offsite, continue to serve me today and will last me for the rest of my life. I hope to take these skills to the next level by pioneering a new wave in the EV Charging industry and overall creating a greater positive impact for this world.”

Apprenticeship combines on-the-job and classroom training, preparing the apprentice for a career as a skilled craftsman. Apprentices work during the day at training assignments with contractors (employers), who pay the apprentice directly for time worked.

Apprentices attend school two nights per week, and our apprenticeship classes are credited through Palomar College so you’re earning college credits without paying tuition. All classes are held in classrooms and labs at our training facility in San Diego and/or Imperial Valley.

Key Benefits Wages, with regular increases, for on-the-job training plus benefits College credits for classroom training Graduate as a Journeyman Inside Wireman or Journeyman Sound Technician No tuition for schooling
