The Electrical Training Institute (ETI) of San Diego and Imperial Counties is the recruitment and training arm of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 569 and the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) of San Diego.

Most of our apprentices work, train, and live in San Diego; we also have a training facility and members who live, work, and train in Imperial County. The apprenticeship combines supervised on-the-job and classroom training, preparing the apprentice for a career as a skilled electrician. Apprentices gain this experience working with one of our over 300 signatory electrical contractors from NECA.
