Local 725

The original National Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (now the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) was founded in St. Louis in 1891. IBEW Local 725 was established in 1913 and has represented local electricians in the construction industry for 95 years. With nearly 700 hundred members across 9 Indiana and 6 Illinois counties, we have a time tested record proving we are the best trained in the residential, commercial, public, institutional, and industrial markets.

We take training, education, and safety seriously. As our future depends on keeping up to date on evolvng technology, electrical code upgrades, and ever changing customer requirements, we mandate our future electricians complete an intensive 5 year training program that encompasses classroom theory and hands on training through the jointly administered and Department of Labor approved apprenticeship program of IBEW & NECA.

Earning while they learn. electrical apprentices receive their education from private funding from our contractors and electricians. No government money or taxpayer funds are utilized.
