Thank you for continuing to provide support and training opportunities for apprentices. The California-Nevada JATC instructors provide the foundation for the on-the-job education the apprentices receive. The majority of the training, almost 90% of it, is provided through the on-the-job opportunities provided by IBEW contractors.  It is through this partnership that we have this exceptional opportunity to continually educate, train and produce a highly skilled workforce for the future of the industry.

If you have any questions regarding the process to approve apprentice hours and add an evaluation, please contact our staff at 951-685-8658.

Welcome to the new Contractor Portal section of the updated California-Nevada JATC website. The goal of this page is to provide easy access to important and relevant information for contractors currently utilizing or who are interested in employing and training apprentices. The information provided on this page will include guidance on the process of how to request an apprentice, the importance of the apprentice’s Monthly Progress Reports and Evaluations, training and other support the JATC may provide to our contributing contractors as well as links to important documents. More information may become available on this page as opportunities for improvement arise.

Announcements will be updated regularly with information for contractors and their field leadership, from Superintendents to Foremen. This may include important changes in apprenticeship rules, new training available for apprentices and/or eligible industry workers in general; or announcements regarding relevant and current situations, such as apprentices traveling out of the area for storm work. We encourage you to visit the Announcements page as well as the Contractor Portal first as we may address any questions or concerns you might have.

Lastly, we want to thank you for continuing to provide training opportunities for apprentices. The California-Nevada JATC instructors can only provide the foundation for the on-the-job education the apprentices receive while the JATC relies on you (the Contractor), for almost 90% of their hands-on training. It is through this JATC/Employer partnership that we have this exceptional opportunity to continually educate, train and produce a highly skilled workforce for the future of the industry.
