Graduates of the Telecommunication apprenticeship program become Journeyman Sound Technicians. Sound Technicians are referred to as technicians, installers, and system designers. The types of systems they work on are:

• Entertainment (audio, video, multimedia, and home and corporate theater)
• Communications (telephone, fax, modem, Internet, local area networks, paging, intercoms, and public address systems)
• Life safety (access control, burglar and fire alarms, video surveillance, and nurse call)
• Control of indoor, outdoor, and specialty lighting
• Other forms of home and building security, control and automation

In general, the systems Sound Technicians design, install, and maintain are placed permanently. Sound Technicians make use of a home or building’s 120V AC power to activate control panels, audio and video sources, and signal amplifiers. A Sound Technician’s work focuses on the distribution of low-voltage signals among microprocessor-based devices and controls.

Major duties of a Sound Technician include:

• Installing, connecting, calibrating, and servicing products that move voice, video, audio, and data signals around premises
• Installing, connecting, calibrating, and servicing products that control signals
• Installing, connecting, calibrating, and servicing products that use signals to control mechanical and electrical apparatuses

The Transportation Systems Apprenticeship scope of work covers street lighting, traffic signals, and intelligent freeway systems. It is physically demanding work as the majority of conduit and wire is installed underground, requiring digging, boring, and removal and restoration of street surfaces. Repetitive lifting of 25 to 50 pound objects occurs on a fairly constant schedule. Additionally, the Transportation Systems Electrician works at height installing traffic poles, traffic signals, lighting poles, light heads, and freeway board lighting. Traffic control to establish safe work areas involves lane closures, setting cones, flashing signal boards, directional signage, and flagging skills. The ability to follow specific instructions, especially involving safety, is our most important requirement. It is all outdoor work with exposure to environmental elements.
