The model

Earn while you learn

Our apprenticeships are tuition-free. The union electrical construction industry funds the educational programs, the training facility, the equipment, and pays apprentices for class time. You earn a paycheck from your first day on the job — and your wages step up with every 1,000 hours of training completed.

On graduation you become a journeyman: full wages, full benefits, and lifetime access to continuing education at the JATC.
