Electrical Construction & Maintenance
Electrician jobs in residential, commercial, and industrial wiring are open to MTI graduates. Positions are available with electrical contractors
and maintenance companies, and with regional substations and utility companies. This two-year program provides basic training in maintenance and
new construction wiring—in both residential and commercial buildings. Other training includes fiber optic and data cabling as well as programmable
logic controls.
Incoming students are licensed as apprentice electricians in South Dakota. Upon completion of the Electrical and Construction Program, an MTI
graduate receives 2000 hours towards certification as a journeyman with a South Dakota electrician’s license.
