Outsource employs over 300 technicians weekly on jobsites across the continental United States. We work with all the national system integrators and all the major electrical contractors and many of our technicians go on to permanent placement opportunities. Structured Cabling is an excellent entry point into the construction industry and it allows for a diverse amount of options when it comes to choosing a career path. Outsource specializes in training people looking to transition into a skilled trade and we do it at no charge.

Chris Trevino, an Operations Analyst for the company, explains why structured cabling is a viable career option. “The construction industry is always in the needs for new talent band this has never been more true than it is today. In fact, The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced in 2014 that it expects to add nearly 10 million new jobs to the U.S. economy trough 2024. A lot of those jobs will go to skilled trade technicians in the construction industry and structured cabling is a great skill to know. As you gain experience and knowledge, you will be given more responsibility on the job and have the opportunity to transition into other areas of structured cable, including A/V and security installation”

Outsource’s Field Employee Training Program provides quality entry-level low-voltage installers to our clients around the country. The introduction of a robust and well-designed program for entry-level training is done onsite at Outsource and is complete in only four (4) days.

The program, which consists of 2 in the classroom and 2 days obtaining your OSHA certification, gives you the tools, safety equipment, and skills to immediately go out and work with out clients. At Outsource, trainees will learn data jack termination (568A and 568B), professionalism, jobsite etiquette, and will be OSHA certified. All of our trainees will have terminated well over 100 voice and data jacks by the time they are released to the field.

Our training center and corporate headquarters is a 4,000 square foot drop ceiling facility which creates an ideal setting for pulling cable and each class involves many actual cable pulls. Each trainee that finishes the course is outfitted with a 110/66 punch tool, snips, hard hat, safety glasses, and blue t-shirts to wear on jobsites.

Furthermore, Outsource also offers a bonus program for its field technicians. After 520 hours working with Outsource, we will supply you with a $200 bonus and a 6-foot ladder. There are additional bonus increases at 1,040 hours and 2,080 hours.

Sam Jarvis, VP of Operations, says, “We look at our Field Employee Training Program as a philanthropic endeavor. We don’t charge anything for the training program and it’s a way to give back to the community by offering people a way into the industry. We want to take an active role in providing people with an opportunity to better themselves and build a lasting career.”

We’re looking for motivated individuals who want to learn a skilled trade that can help build a successful and fulfilling career.
