The apprentice tier on the Idaho register

Idaho records apprentices on its own electrician licence register as Electrical Apprentice Registration: 8,669 active apprentice-tier records against 12,796 journeyman records, a ratio of 0.68 apprentice records per journeyman, register read September 16, 2026. The register's apprentice tier and the federal registered-apprenticeship count in the county table are two different systems: a licence-register apprentice is anyone the state has credentialed to work under supervision, a registered apprentice is enrolled in a DOL-registered program.

Apprentice8,669
Journeyman12,796
Master1,711
Contractor2,421

Counts are license records, not people: a holder with more than one license appears once per license, and a contractor license is a business, not a worker.

Credential types the Idaho Electrical Board, Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL) issues for this trade: Electrical Apprentice, Journeyman Electrician, Master Electrician, Specialty Electrician, Electrical Contractor.
