ECA / JTC School
The Electrical Joint Training Committee
The Electrical
Joint Training Committee (EJTC) is a partnership between
the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local
213 and the Electrical Contractors Association of BC.
Through a training director, the EJTC manages the union
apprenticeship program. This includes screening, placement
and monitoring of approximately 250 electrical apprentices
per year. Individuals seeking employment as apprentices in
the electrical trades apply to the EJTC for work
opportunities. The EJTC screens and interviews applicants
and then arranges for apprenticeship training and placement.
The EJTC operates a private school currently licensed under
the Private Career Training Institution Act. Through this
school we offer electrical industry courses to the public in
remedial training for apprentices, to prepare for the
interprovincial exam, and a new course in electrical
pre-apprenticeship training for those individuals interested
in getting started in the industry. Our interprovincial
course is very popular and has a high success rate.
We are active participants in the Secondary School
Apprenticeship program and hire students every summer who
show interest in the trade.
