Red Lion Area High School Students Graduate Pre-Apprenticeship

Nine Juniors and Seniors from Red Lion Area Senior High School graduated from the first ever Electricians Boot Camp at York Electrical Institute.  These students completed a six-week program that introduced them to the electrical industry and careers in the electrical trade.  Students learned basic electrical theory, tools and materials of the trade, basic wiring methods, and blueprint reading.  The program culminated with a capstone project where students designed and built their own electrical circuit.
