Northern Nevada Electrical Training Center

Meet the Instructor Coordinator: Scott Betz

Scott Betz began his career in the electrical trade in 1986 and quickly realized it was the career path he wanted to pursue. He applied for the Reno IBEW Apprenticeship in 1987 and was accepted into the program a year later.

As an apprentice, Scott worked for several contractors before joining Nelson Electric in 1991. What started as an opportunity turned into a 30 year career with one contractor, where he gained extensive field experience and industry knowledge.

In 2022, Scott joined the Northern Nevada Electrical Training Center as a full-time instructor. Now serving as the Instructor Coordinator, he brings more than three decades of field experience into the classroom and takes pride in helping apprentices develop both technical and leadership skills.

Scott enjoys teaching courses in Power Quality, Health Care Facilities, and Leadership Skills, helping shape the next generation of electrical professionals.

On Thursday, May 21st, we had the opportunity to attend the Lyon County School District Trade Fest in Silver Springs, NV.

Students in attendance were able to get hands on experience at our booth and learn what it means to be an electrician, what our career is like, and how to apply to our apprenticeship program.

We had a wonderful time meeting the future of the blue collar industry and we are excited to welcome them into our field should they choose to pursue this life changing experience.

Thank you to Lyon County School District for having us out!

It was great to see connections with future apprentices, questions get answered, live demonstrations, and hands-on activities in action.

We are glad to see so much interest and engagement across the board.
