Richmond Electricians Jatc

What Richmond Electricians Jatc does

Richmond Electricians JATC is a joint labor-management apprenticeship and training committee that operates the electrical training programs sponsored by IBEW Local Union 666 and the Atlantic Coast Chapter NECA across central Virginia. Its core offering is the Inside Wireman apprenticeship, supplemented by a Construction Wireman/Electrician pathway, journeyman upgrade training, and recurring continuing-education courses such as the NEC Code Update course required for Virginia electrical license renewal. Curriculum is delivered through the Electrical Training Alliance's blended-learning model at training facilities in N. Chesterfield and Ashland, VA, with the TradeSchool LMS providing online access to course content alongside classroom instruction.

The organization runs a non-profit revenue model anchored by apprentice registration fees of $600 charged twice yearly ($1,200 per apprentice per year), a $20 aptitude test fee, and per-course pricing of $81 for the EVCS Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training course and $90 for the NEC Code Update course taken by non-members. It serves individual apprentices, journeyman electricians, and veterans enrolling through GI Bill/VA-approved status, and offers college-credit articulation worth 11, 39, and 00 credit hours toward an associate degree. Customers are individuals, not enterprises, and revenue is structurally long-tail.

Recent strategic activity has focused on curriculum and channel expansion rather than scale growth: an EVCS course has been added to address electric-vehicle charging infrastructure demand, a GI Bill/VA-approved pathway has opened veteran enrollment as a funded customer segment, TradeSchool LMS has been deployed as a digital delivery layer, and the Stephen W. Baker/Herbert W. Baker Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to multiple apprentices. There is no disclosed M&A, funding, or material headcount change in the input.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• SkillsUSA: National non-profit serving middle school, high school, and college students in career and technical education, including electrical trades. Comparable as an upstream feeder channel for trade-school enrollment and as an adjacent ecosystem organization promoting skilled trades as a career path.

Emerging players

• Universal Technical Institute (UTI): For-profit trade school operator with electrical, HVAC, and industrial programs and manufacturer-aligned training. Comparable as a private-sector vocational training competitor with broader geographic reach and employer partnerships outside the union system.
• Mike Holt Enterprises: Independent provider of electrical training content, NEC code update courses, and certification prep used widely by electricians. Comparable as an alternative continuing-education and exam-prep channel that competes with the JATC's NEC code update offerings at potentially lower price points.

Direct peers

• Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC): National construction industry association that operates an apprenticeship/trade school network through ABC's training programs. Comparable as a labor-management (open-shop) counterpart to the JATC model, training craft workers including electricians for merit-shop contractors.
• National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER): Non-profit that develops standardized construction craft curricula, including electrical, used by hundreds of training sponsors and schools nationwide. Comparable as an alternative curriculum and credentialing backbone for electrician apprenticeship programs.
• Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC): National trade association running apprenticeship and training programs for non-union electrical contractors. Directly comparable as a competing apprenticeship pathway for aspiring electricians, with overlapping curriculum and continuing-education offerings but operating on a non-union labor model.
• Lincoln Tech: For-profit multi-campus technical college offering electrician and skilled-trades diploma programs across several states. Comparable as a competing residential/commercial electrician training provider, though without union job-placement guarantees.

Broad incumbents

• International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW): Parent labor organization of which Local Union 666 is a chapter, and which jointly sponsors ~300 JATCs nationally. Comparable as the broader union ecosystem whose policies, training standards, and member benefits underpin this JATC's operating model.
• National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA): Management-side co-sponsor of all IBEW-affiliated JATCs, including the Richmond program. Comparable as the contractor-side counterpart that funds apprenticeship training and absorbs program graduates, defining demand for the JATC's output.
