The Toledo Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) is committed to not only providing an educated, well-trained workforce through a cooperative labor-management education program, but also to helping workers develop the complex skills, knowledge and abilities needed to retain highly paid, prestigious jobs in the electrical construction industry. The Toledo Electrical JATC pledges to educate workers through diversified on-the-job training supervised by qualified journeypersons and related technical classroom instruction.
In apprenticeship you literally EARN WHILE YOU LEARN. As you advance through your training, you receive predetermined pay increases. As you develop more complex job skills and improve your knowledge, you are rewarded for your hard work. You also LEARN BY DOING. Your on-the-job training is supervised by a qualified journey-level craftsman.
The Toledo Electrical JATC conducts two Apprenticeship Training Programs registered with the Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training:
Inside/Commercial Electrical Wiring Program - These are the recommended steps (although not required) in the process of completing the apprenticeship for Inside/Commercial Electrical Wiring:
School-To-Work Program - High school students who meet academic and attendance requirements are selected for this pre-apprenticeship program at the end of their sophomore year. They work full-time on a residential site during the summer following their junior year, and then alternate weeks of work and school during their senior year. Upon graduation, successful students are invited to apply for the Residential Training Program (pre-apprenticeship).
Residential Training Program - Students spend two years in the residential training program learning to install power, communication, and security systems according to local codes and standards. Upon completion, they become Residential Wiremen and are invited to apply to the registered Inside/Commercial Electrical Wiring Apprenticeship Program.
Inside/Commercial Electrical Wiring Apprenticeship Program - Inside electrical construction work involves lay out, assembly, installation, and connection of all electrical apparatus, equipment, fixtures, and wiring used in electrical systems. During this five-year program students attend related trade classes and receive credit from Northwest State Community College . Apprentices complete 8,000 hours of on-the-job training with signatory electrical contractors and, upon completion, receive a journeyman certificate.
Teledata Communications Apprenticeship Program - This new three-year apprenticeship program focuses on the telecommunications and data transmission fields and includes trade-related classes for students working toward the Journeyman Installer Technician career path. Apprentices complete 4,500 hours of on-the-job training with signatory electrical contractors and, upon completion, receive a journeyman certificate.
These apprenticeship programs provide a clear-cut path for career development and occupational training, limited only by one's interest and aptitude. Quality training programs such as these provide workers with the skills, knowledge, and abilities necessary to maintain performance superiority leading to a high standard of living.
