CAN I APPLY AS A MATURE AGE APPRENTICE?

NECA Electrical Apprenticeships is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applicants over 21 years of age to apply for employment as adult apprentices, however due to the vast variance between the wage rates for adult apprentices and junior apprentices, NECA will only offer employment to suitable adult apprentices if a host employer is willing to employ and pay the higher wage rates.
