Electrical Alliance Apprenticeship Training
Start Building a Career with a Future. Electrical technology—the industry that powers our homes, our businesses and our government—offers a stable career with plenty of potential to grow. Upon graduation, you'll have the opportunity to earn top-dollar (up to $73,000 per year), work anywhere in the U.S. and even move from field work into the professional arena to work as a foreman, estimator, project manager and contractor — or even own your own business.
The Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee (JATC) trains the electrical and telecommunication apprentices employed by all signatory contractors of Local Union 26 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. It offers three different tracks that combine state-of-the-art education and hands-on experience that put you on the road to higher pay, more benefits and job security. It doesn't cost tens of thousands of dollars like college. In fact, you get paid for attending class, and you don't have to take the SAT!
You'll take your classroom learning to the job site for hands-on experience with the area's best contractors on a variety of projects in Virginia, DC and Suburban and Southern Maryland. Your experience will range from electrical and telecommunications installations in large, complex new buildings, to troubleshooting and maintenance in existing buildings, to retrofitting older buildings for energy efficiency. Rotating job assignments will have you working with different people and trying new things; keeping your interest level up.
And you'll get paid while you learn. The hourly rate varies with the track and increases upon successful completion of on-the-job training and classroom related studies.
Choose from three different career tracks, depending on your interests and skill level — the Inside Electrical Track (5 year program), the Telecommunications Track (3 year program), and the Residential Track (4 year program).
