Mentorship and Training

Training is the thread that weaves all electrical workers together. We offer employment through our pre-apprenticeship program, we are the largest single sponsor of apprenticeship and provide the most extensive post-Journey electrical training available on Vancouver Island. We promote mentorship on the job, and off through our Code of Excellence program and other union courses.

Medical and Dental

Your health matters, and so does your family's. As an IBEW Local 230 member, you get access to comprehensive medical and dental coverage negotiated on your behalf, covering everything from routine dental care to emergency medical insurance. The plan you receive depends on your employer, so find yours below and know exactly what you're covered for.

Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation​

Asking for help takes courage. If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use or mental health, IBEW Local 230 connects you to real support built specifically for construction industry workers. You're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out on your own.

Retirement

Make sure your retirement reflects the work you've put in. IBEW Local 230 members have access to a comprehensive group retirement plan through Manulife, including RRSPs, RPPs, TFSAs, and the IBEW International Pension Benefit Fund. Whether you're just starting your career or planning your exit, find everything you need to understand your plan and make the most of it.

Community Outreach

IBEW Local 230 is more than a union. We're part of the Vancouver Island community we live and work in. From charity events to local initiatives, our members show up beyond the job site. Find out how you can get involved and make a difference alongside your fellow members.
