Trade school or apprenticeship?
Hey guys! Im want to make a quick post since im interested in becoming an electrician! Im currently a 17 year old girl and a senior in NYC. To be honest im pretty bad at math because I never took the time to actually study things simple as algebra (this will be important later) My highschool offers a program by a government technical school called COOP Tech and im currently taking a shop class. Anyways that being said I found out that their school is free of charge and aim at people 17-21 and one of the trades they teach is electrical work. Even though its free I see alot of people online saying to get straight to an apprenticeship. I think I heard local 3 is opening for people to join the apprenticeship. Although I cant joint an apprenticeship yet since im not of age it states they will be looking for people who are great in math and or science.
I just want to get some advice as what you guys think is the best choice for a teen who is able to choose these options. I could also do community college and have an electrical program but thays like my plan B. Thanks for reading yall!
