Electricity

Instructor:  Mr. Schwartzman

 

	Construction Electricity at Harford Technical High School is a three year program. In grade ten students will have the opportunity to take related courses in construction and fabrication. In the senior year, students may participate in the Cooperative Work Experience Program.  Construction Electricity provides a broad base of experience in construction electricity skills so that students will realize the diversity of this field. Occupational areas include electrical maintenance, utility, construction, sales and various other construction related fields.  Graduates successfully completing the program have an advantage over non-technical high school students. They may enter the work force immediately and have the skills that will allow them to achieve a good income within a few years of graduation, as well as preparing them for higher education if they so desire. Students can continue their training by attending technical schools or participating in apprenticeship programs. Harford Technical High School has an agreement with the Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. (ABC) and the Harford County Electrical Contractors Association for apprenticeship opportunities.  Area businesses where students may find employment include numerous electrical contractors, utility companies, governmental agencies, and electrical suppliers. Successful students in the program possess the ability to work cooperatively with others to complete tasks, have good problem solving skills, demonstrate the ability to measure precisely, exhibit proficiency in algebra or above, possess good manipulative skills and the willingness to meet craftsmanship standards.
