BC Hydro does not require you to have 5 years experience. They do hire apprentices and anyone can apply (check out the Hydro website for postings) but you must have Physics 12, English 12 and Math 12. I started of as a lineman pre-app and I am now a 3rd year apprentice Electrician with the company and like it a lot, even though I'm a "noodle", lol
