What is an Apprenticeship?
"Apprenticeship is a combination of on-the-job training (OJT) and related classroom instruction under the supervision of a journey-level craft person or trade professional in which workers learn the practical and theoretical aspects of a highly skilled occupation."
--Washington State Department of Labor and Industries
The energy industry trades require skilled crafts people to perform jobs. Apprenticeship is a required training program for most of these Journeyman level positions.
IBEW Local 483 offers an Apprenticeship Program through the Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee of the Northwest Line Construction Industry (NW Line JATC). NW Line JATC is a third party non-profit association designed to train unionized workers for the outside electrical construction industry. The main focus of the NW Line JATC is to provide the northwest outside electrical industry with an adequate number of highly skilled Journeyman level workers. Within the NW Line JATC there is an Oregon and Washington Power Line Clearance & Tree Trimming Apprenticeship as well. Please visit their website below for more information about their programs and how to apply.
