Getting trained in a vital trade shouldn’t require putting everything on hold, which is why our OBC Trades Academy Extension location located in Elyria campus offers the Electrical Applications program full-time, day or evening, to accommodate your busy schedules. We think each of our OBC students deserves personalized attention from instructors, so we keep our class sizes small and focused, providing the kind of professional learning environment best suited for adults who are already juggling jobs, families and other commitments.

Training to become an electrician takes focus, hands-on work, and attention to safety. These abilities can help you succeed in the program and on the job. A few key abilities include:
Electricians install, fix, and maintain electrical systems that power homes and buildings. They work with wiring, outlets, breaker panels, and lighting. One day might be running new wire in a house. Another day might be fixing a power issue.
They also test systems to make sure everything is safe and working right. Some electricians focus on homes, while others work on large buildings or job sites. It’s hands-on work, and every job can be a little different.
