Electrician Apprenticeship opportunity (Applications typically accepted in September, check our website for details!)

The Chester Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (CJATC) for the Electrical Industry offers a five (5) year apprenticeship to become a Journeyman Electrician. This committee is partnered through the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and The National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA). The apprenticeship program consists of 8,000 hours of on-the-job training, as well as 900 hours of classroom and lab training.


Local 654/Chester Electrical JATC has served southern Delaware and Chester Counties since Febuary 23, 1939. Local 654 members are true professionals in the electrical field. The local consists of just under 700 members.

Our 22,000 square-foot building houses a state of the art training facility for journeyman, journeywomen, and apprentices. Here at Local 654 we believe that education is the key to surviving in this highly competitive technology driven industry.
