JATC Electrical Training Center

The Greater Boston Joint Apprentice Training Center’s (JATC) primary mission is to develop the most skilled, responsible and responsive Electricians and Technicians in the United States of America. We are dedicated to building professionals who have the expertise, character and sense of teamwork to bring value to the clients they serve, the union they represent and the contractors who employ them.

One of the highest-rated and most prestigious apprenticeship programs in the country, the Boston Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) Training Program was created jointly by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 103, and the Greater Boston Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) with one goal — to produce the most highly skilled and professional electricians and technicians in the industry.

For over 100 years, Boston NECA and IBEW Local 103 have worked together to achieve better wages, benefits, and working conditions for its members. Today, IBEW Local 103 and Boston NECA represent approximately 200 major electrical contracting firms employing over 5,000 workers in the Greater Boston area. The Greater Boston JATC is currently training more than 600 apprentices in its five-year Electrical Construction Program, and more than 100 apprentices in its five-year Telecommunications Program.
