For members and apprentices.
The forms and papers people ask the office for, in one place. Applicants: everything you need is on the How to apply page.
Vacation savings
Your employer pays your vacation money into an account at West Penn P&P Federal Credit Union. You need an account there to get it.
How to join the credit unionFor apprentices
Most of what you do day to day — hours, grades, class registration — is in your online account. These are the papers that live outside it.
Apprentice handbook
The rules of the program: attendance, grades, conduct, pay steps, what happens if you fall behind.
Monthly work report / timesheet
confirm: is this on paper, or only in the online account?
Required hand tools
The tool list you are expected to supply, by year.
Request for an accommodation
For the classroom, a test, or the job. Asking will not count against you.
Your online account
Hours, grades, class schedule and registration.
Tell me which other apprentice forms you hand out (change-of-address, leave request, jobsite transfer, tuition reimbursement…) and I will add a row for each.
For members
Classes for working electricians
Schedule and registration, in your online account.
Instrumentation certification — check status
Is it current, and when does it expire.
Instrumentation certification — renewal
The renewal form, processed by the training center.
Union business — dues, dispatch, membership
Handled by the union hall, not the training center.
The credit union
Why it matters
Your employer pays into a vacation savings fund on your behalf. That money is held at West Penn P&P Federal Credit Union in Beaver — the credit union that took over the old Local 712 credit union in 2020. You cannot get at it without an account there.
Joining costs nothing. You put $50 in a savings account to open it and keep $100 in it after that. It is your money.
How to join
There is no online application. Call the credit union at 724-774-9237 and they will mail you a membership card, or fill one in at the counter at 1089 Third Street, Beaver. Bring photo ID.
