Committed to Education
Welcome
For over 70 years, the Electrical Training ALLIANCE (formerly NJATC) has been a pioneering force in training the most skilled electrical professionals in the industry. A collaboration between the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), this program has evolved into the largest apprenticeship and training network of its kind, successfully training over 350,000 apprentices to journeyman status through local affiliate programs.
​
Did you know? Employment for electrical workers is projected to grow by 14% from 2014 to 2024—much faster than the average for all occupations. As demand for electrical installations continues to rise in homes and businesses, qualified electrical workers will be in high demand. The job prospects are outstanding, with employers struggling to find skilled applicants.

Nature of Work
Electrical workers install, maintain and repair electrical power, communications, lighting and control systems in homes, businesses and factories. Electrical workers work indoors and outdoors in nearly every type of facility. Almost all electricians work full time, which may include evenings and weekends. The work can be dangerous and potential injuries include electrical shocks and burns, cuts and falls. Electrical workers learn their trade through a registered apprenticeship program that is usually cost free to the student.
