Electrical Workers - TRAINING

The finest electrical workers in the country receive their training through the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW).

It's a model education partnership which produces the best-trained, most up-to-date electrical apprentices and journeymen in the country. All of the $100 million annually spent is privately funded.

Locally in New Jersey, the NJATC's goal is to provide the highest quality training to those interested in a career in the various fields within the electrical industry.  In addition to receiving skilled training on the job, our Journeymen and Apprentices are provided trade related classroom training that produces competency and pride that lead to true craftsmanship. Our local training committee provides special classes with hands-on training to support classroom lectures and discussions.
