      Hello, who here gives credit to a person enrolled or enrolling into the metering apprenticeship that has prior experience in electrical such as line worker, journeymen / master electrician? If so, how did you go about giving credit? Did you require proof of completed apprenticeships? Was there a test they needed to complete to prove they meet the requirements? Did you give all the credit up front or when certain tasks were complete? RPU currently doesn’t offer credit / years towards an apprenticeship but may want to in certain cases. I’m trying to see how common this is the utilities. Any input would be appreciated.

      Thank you,

      I was given 2 years of credit for experience in the field as an electrician and attending a 2 year trade school before that. So I started on the 5th step of a 10 step apprenticeship program. Took me 3 years to attain my Journeyman Meter Tech.

      Seems pretty common to at least give some credit to someone who didn’t just come off the street into a job.
