Trades apprenticeship applications open in Memphis - 12 months and counting

The training centre near Memphis opened applications for apprenticeships in electrical and welding trades. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. Applications close in 11 weeks. What do you wish you had known?

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

Visit the training centre in person if you can. Seeing the classrooms helped me decide.
