About Us
History of Program
For more than 60 years, the Harford County Electrical Contractors Association (HCECA) has been committed to strengthening the electrical industry through education, training, and workforce development. Founded by a group of forward-thinking electrical contractors, the association was built on a shared belief in the importance of a highly skilled and well-trained workforce.
In 1977, that vision led to the creation of the HCECA Electrical Apprenticeship Program. Through a longstanding partnership with Harford Community College, the program has grown into one of the largest and most respected electrical apprenticeship programs in the state of Maryland. Today, employers throughout the region recognize the program for its strong curriculum, hands-on training, and commitment to preparing apprentices for successful careers in the electrical trade.
The HCECA Electrical Apprenticeship Program is a four-year program approved and certified by the Maryland Apprenticeship and Training Council (Registry #919) and the United States Department of Labor.
