Using Massachusetts and National Electrical Codes as guidance, electrical students learn the correct installation of various wiring schemes used in all types of construction. The electrical program provides students with a broad range of experiences covering many new technologies in power, communication, energy conservation, audio/video, security, fire safety, and lighting.

Recognizing the importance of communications skills in career advancement, theory classes stress proper language arts skills and include five paragraph essays and at least one research paper every academic year. Strong math skills are developed including multi functional algebraic calculations. Theory classes conform to state standards allowing students to earn class-time hours required by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to become a licensed electrician.
The program is working with Cape Cod Community College to help develop initiatives using high tech energy management systems as well as renewable energy projects. The program recently installed a new photovoltaic system for the horticulture retail center and has plans to add similar systems in the school. The students also assisted in the installation of a small wind generator at the school, a first for Cape Cod and our school. Qualified students participate in a strong cooperative work program with many employers in the area. Many students retain their employment in the electrical field upon graduation.
