History
Membership Benefits
Requirements
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and The National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) recognized in 1941 that an exceptionally trained and skilled workforce would be critically important for the future success of the commercial and industrial construction trade. Having a well-educated labor force of electricians which understands the many aspects of their trade provides customers a much needed value. So, in September of 1941, the National Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee (JATC) was born.
