Electricity

The Electricity Program provides a broad base of experience in construction electricity skills so that students will realize the diversity of this field. Occupational areas include electrical maintenance, utility, construction, sales and various other construction-related fields.

Students who successfully complete the program have skills that will allow them to achieve a good income within a few years of graduation, and they are prepared for higher education if they so desire. Students can continue their training by attending technical schools or participating in apprenticeship programs. Harford Technical High School has an agreement with the Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. (ABC) and the Harford County Electrical Contractors Association for apprenticeship opportunities.

An ongoing partnership with Harford Habitat for Humanity allows students to participate in the construction of a Habitat home over the course of each school year; the construction culminates in the dedication of the home to the recipient family, a ceremony in which HTHS students actively participate.

Area businesses where students may find employment include numerous electrical contractors, utility companies, governmental agencies, and electrical suppliers. Students are given the opportunity to experience studies in the International Residential Code (IRC) Certification.

Successful students in the program possess the ability to work cooperatively with others to complete tasks, have good problem solving skills, demonstrate the ability to measure precisely, exhibit proficiency in algebra or above, possess good manipulative skills and the willingness to meet craftsmanship standards.
