It will also help ensure that Nevada will have the workforce available to deal with the large infrastructure improvements needed throughout the state. The Electrical JATC is also committed to developing and providing courses of study for IBEW members to train the most qualified electricians in the ever evolving electrical industry. Upon completion of our apprenticeship program the apprentice receives certificates through ETA, NSAC and OA documenting their successful completion of the program. They also receive retirement plans and medical coverage for themselves and their families. .Nevada WICHE runs a loan forgiveness program for students enrolled in pharmacy, physical therapy, physician assistant or veterinary medicine programs. All electrical apprentices receive incremental raises as they reach certain set milestones. To accomplish this goal, we provide our apprentices with 900 hours of classroom training and over 8000 hours of on the job training over a five year period. The goal of the Electrical JATC is to give our students a well-rounded electrical education so that they can “hit the ground running” when they graduate as Journeymen-Wiremen.
