There are over ? IBEW members instructing in our apprenticeship classrooms.

• A. 4,000
• B. 1,000
• C. 2,000
• D. 8,000

Answer: (A)

The number being asked about is the size of IBEW members who serve as instructors in apprenticeship classrooms, which reflects how the union supports training across its local programs. There are over four thousand IBEW members who teach in these classrooms nationwide, a figure that fits the scope of the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee network and the need to provide both classroom theory and hands-on instruction to many apprentices across many locals. That level of instructional staff makes sense given the large, countrywide training system and the steady mix of journeymen who teach part-time or commit a portion of their time to instructing. The other options are less plausible because they would under- or overstate the scale of staffing required to support apprenticeship programs across all locals.
