    San Francisco Joint Apprenticeship and Training

    The mission of the San Francisco Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee is to develop and standardize training to educate the members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the National Electrical Contractors Association; insuring and providing the Electrical Construction Industry with the most highly trained and highly skilled workforce possible.

    What Is Apprenticeship?

    The San Francisco Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC), is a cooperative effort between the San Francisco Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local Union #6. The JATC is charged with the responsibility of recruiting and training apprentices to meet the ever-growing needs of the Electrical Industries.

    In addition to training apprentices in the necessary skills required to be a Technician, the JATC also provides an extended education program of skills update and improvement courses for Local 6 members. The program keeps those individuals as technologically current as possible in their respective fields.

    How Apprenticeship Works

    Apprenticeship is a comprehensive program of career training that combines the necessary classroom-based-related study in combination with actual hands-on job skills. The basic premise of an Apprenticeship is that the individual apprentice will be learning all of the related theories of his or her career and be able to practice this theory in real-life job experiences.

    Apprenticeship is not a new concept. In fact, since the Middle Ages, master craftsmen have used Apprenticeship Programs to pass on, train and teach all of the knowledge and skills necessary for individuals to become highly skilled specialists in their respective trade.

    With the advent of the ever-advancing technologies in today's world, the question of how to keep abreast of these advances can only be answered by Apprenticeship.

    What Does It Cost?

    Individual participants in the IBEW-NECA Program receive a training scholarship that covers all of the tuition. Individuals are responsible for the purchase of required tools and classroom textbooks as required.
