APPRENTICES AND TRAINING

To meet the skilled manpower needs of its electrical contractor members, the Southwest Washington Chapter of NECA and IBEW Local 76, jointly sponsor and administer a comprehensive apprenticeship and training program for future electrical workers. Chapter representatives contribute many hours each month in recruiting, selecting, training and supervising apprentices for the Southwest Washington Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee.
