West Virginia Joint Apprenticeship Programs

IBEW 317 – Huntington

The Huntington Electrical JATC is an affiliate of the electrical training ALLIANCE (formerly the NJATC).  The electrical training ALLIANCE developed uniform standards that are adopted and used nationwide to select and train thousands of qualified men  and women each year.

Over the years we have continually trained the best craftpersons in the industry without the cost to the taxpayers.  Students in the electrical training ALLIANCE earn while they learn while doing apprenticeship.  Apprentices receive excellent wages, paid health benefits, pension, guaranteed wage advancement, and an employment atmosphere with safe working conditions.
