ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area how long did it take you to become an apprentice?

I know a guy who applied in Portland. I'm pretty sure he was hired within a couple months, I think he's been in the program for a year now? Don't know how he ranked though. I, on the other hand applied to a few different programs union and nonunion. I had just finished my Portland union aptitude test, when I was offered a nonunion job in Eastern Oregon. They tell you that you're on the list 2 years, if you don't get a call, reapply. I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket so I applied everywhere. Good luck.
