The Blue Lake Rancheria is excited to announce that the Pre-Apprenticeships for Low-Voltage Technicians program will be holding another two cohorts this year, with both a summer and fall session! The Pre-Apprenticeship for Low-Voltage Technicians program was co-designed by the Blue Lake Rancheria, Hoopa Valley Tribe, Karuk Tribe, and Yurok Tribe. This is a five-week, approximately 55 hours, hybrid course consisting of a blend of evening virtual sessions and one extended weekend for hands-on training at Blue Lake Rancheria. The training sessions for this year are as follows:
-
Summer Session: July 2 – August 6, 2026. Required hands-on training at Blue Lake during July 17 – 19, 2026.
-
Fall Session: September 3 – October 8, 2026. Required hands-on training at Blue Lake during September 18 – 20, 2026.
Both sessions cover the same material. Applications for the Summer or Fall Session are due at 11:59pm PDT on Sunday, May 31. Applicants are encouraged to submit early, as space is limited to 25 participants in each cohort. If accepted, we cannot guarantee participation to your preferred dates. We will however make a strong effort to fill the program according to your preferred dates.
