Apprenticeship openings for electricians and welders after 14 years as a quality inspector

I heard of an apprenticeship with paid on-the-job training for people changing careers. I am in Knoxville, in case local advice matters. Applications close in 14 weeks. What do you wish you had known?

Bring your transcripts and any proof of work history. They asked for both in the interview.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
