What Lansing Electrical JATC does

Lansing Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (LEJATC) is a non-profit educational organization established in 1957 that operates registered apprenticeship programs for the electrical construction trade. It is jointly governed by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local Union 665 and the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), Michigan Chapter, Lansing Division, with classroom instruction delivered at Lansing Community College and on-the-job training provided by signatory union contractors.

LEJATC's core service offering consists of two five-year registered apprenticeship programs: an Inside Wireman (Commercial/Industrial) Electrician Apprenticeship covering AC/DC theory, conduit fabrication, blueprint reading, National Electrical Code, motor controls, instrumentation, building automation, and photovoltaic systems; and a Sound & Communications Technician Apprenticeship covering low-voltage systems including network video, audio/video, intrusion detection, paging, and telephony. Apprentices earn wages ($16–$19/hour starting in year one, with periodic raises) plus employer-paid health care and retirement benefits, while receiving training at little to no direct cost.

The operating model is a labor-management training trust rather than a commercial enterprise. LEJATC is funded through contributions from signatory contractors and the union, with no external investors, venture capital, or private equity backing. Apprentice intake follows a structured monthly application cycle via the TradeSchool online portal, followed by aptitude testing, oral interview, and two-year eligibility list placement. Apprentices are placed with union electrical contractors within the IBEW Local 665 jurisdiction covering Michigan. The organization has trained over 1,000 apprentices over its 60+ year history.
