  Minimum Apprentice Wage Rates
WAGE RATES 2007-2008
State law requires that a registered apprentice program conduct a wage survey each year. Apprentice wages are then determined from the average wage paid to journeyman electricians. Apprentice wages for the 2007-2008 school year are listed below for each 6-month period. The average journeyman hourly rate for Sarasota/Bradenton is $17.37. This does not include benefits. Apprentices are required to maintain a passing grade of 70% and must accumulate 1000 on-the-job training hours to be eligible for a wage increase.

Wage Comparison
An important consideration when comparing wages and programs is the fact that apprentices enter high-paying jobs upon completion of their apprenticeship and are not encumbered with repayment of student loans.
