Need some help (local 292)
Long story short I scored a 90% on the GAN Aptitude test, but I ended up getting a 57.54/ 100 on my total application score because I have no experience in the electrical field. Local 292 only took 15 people and unfortunately Im currently ranked 360. In the email they sent me about my score there is a link to take a $500 course on skills prep that only improves my application score by 5pts. I honestly have no clue what to do and im sick of waiting around. I had planned on doing a pre apprenticeship for one of the companies in the union, but because there are apprentices on the books I can’t anymore. I went around to some local non union electrician shops, spoke to them asking if they had any pre apprenticeship/ helper opportunities, and gave them my resume. Its been a little over a week and no response from anyone. I want trade school to be a last resort because most of them near me either don’t have an electrical program, or are pretty booked out. Im just trying to get my foot in the door anywhere. Any suggestions on what to do?!?!?!?!!
