Baltimore Electrical JATC

The JATC and the Hall showing up to share the benefits of apprenticeship in Worcester County!

In recognition of National Apprenticeship Week, we'd like to introduce you to Evan Popp, a senior at Fallston High School who is already wiring his way toward a bright future.

Evan started with EASI Electrical Automation Systems Incorporated in Pasadena the summer before his junior year and never looked back. By September 2025, he took a major step forward by joining IBEW Local 24 in Baltimore.

Balancing school and career, Evan attends high school on A days and spends B days gaining hands-on experience on the job while training through Baltimore Electrical JATC classes. From regular testing to real-world application, he is building skills that matter.

Evan is currently the only HCPS senior participating in a registered apprenticeship while still in school. High school students enrolling in registered apprenticeship programs are aligning with the goals of the Blueprint for Maryland's Future.

Following in his father's footsteps with IBEW Local 24, Evan is committed to completing the four-year Registered Apprenticeship program. By the end, he will be a licensed journeyman with in-demand skills and a strong career foundation.

His advice for future apprentices: Apply early. Stay committed. Study for the entrance exam. Practice for the interview.
