Re: unions and such Yeah lay offs suck. I am a construction splicer and we got 2 weeks of pole climbing/ladder/platform/man hole training and the 3 weeks of splicing school and then it was on the job training. Never heard of 6 months up front-- but I have probably had a total of 6 months in the past 13 years here. (Mux, slc and dlc classes) However there are dramatic differences in the ojt learning curves for different outside jobs.
Fios/Copper install/repair-- a couple of weeks to be fully on your own.
Cable Maintenance Copper-- 1-2 years to be proficient.
SLC maintenance-- 1-2 years
Cable Maintenance-- fios a couple of weeks.
Construction fios-- a couple of months.
Construction copper-- 3-5 years to do all aspects.
Construction core fiber-- 3-5 years also |
