Earn While You Learn!

The Youngstown Area 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 Youngstown Area 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. A qualified journey-level craftsman supervises your on-the-job training.

Electrical Construction is a dynamic and diverse industry with specialized skills.  The electrician must be able to layout assemble, install, repair and test entire electrical and electronic systems.  Along with their electrical training, journeyman electricians must have complete working knowledge of blueprint reading and know the National Electrical Code and local codes.  This is, of course, the hazard of electrical shock and burns from “live” wires.  Therefore, safe work practice is a must.  Electricians must be mechanically inclined, physically fit and enjoy working with mathematical formulas.

Electrical work is performed both indoors and outdoors in all temperatures and weather conditions.
