About the Program

CATEC's Electricity program provides students opportunities to explore all areas of the industry, developing skills to install, operate, maintain, and repair residential, commercial, and industrial electrical systems. Students study electrical theory and complex mathematical and physics problems related to industry. They navigate the National Electrical Code (NEC) Book, select and install conductors, examine lighting, communication, and power systems, and work with conduit and raceways, panel boards, switchboards, and generators. Students can earn one year of related technical instruction (RTI) towards an apprenticeship program.
