What applying to IUEC Local 18 involves
IUEC Local 18 covers the Las Vegas, NV area under NEIEP’s national recruitment system. Applications are submitted through NEIEP, not to the local union office directly. Once you apply and are scheduled, you’ll sit the EIAT entrance test, and if you pass, complete a hands-on tool assessment and a JAC interview before landing on a ranked hiring list valid for 2 years.
We do not have this area’s specific application URL, class size, minimum age, or physical requirements published anywhere we can verify — those details, along with any application cap for this particular window, should be confirmed directly at neiep.org before you apply.
The EIAT: what you’ll actually be tested on
The entrance test is the EIAT (Elevator Industry Aptitude Test): 100 multiple-choice questions, paper-administered, for a $25 fee — 35 reading (cloze fill-in-the-blank), 35 mechanical aptitude (illustrated, Bennett-style), and 30 math. You need 70% to pass, but the EIAT does not rank you — it’s a pass/fail gate only.
See the full breakdown of what’s actually on the test at the EIAT format page, or start practicing with a free EIAT practice test in NEIEP’s real format.
