The Alameda County Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (AJATC) is responsible for running the Electrical Apprenticeship Program. The AJATC is composed of members representing the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). There is also a consultant from the State Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS) [415] 703-1467, and one advisor each from the IBEW and NECA.

The AJATC is operating under authority established in the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the IBEW and NECA and is charged with making local standards in conformity with the National Apprenticeship and Training Standards for the Electrical Contracting Industry governing the qualifications, selection, education, and training of all apprentices. The AJATC shall be responsible for training by the parties to this Agreement and shall be registered with the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee and the appropriate State or Federal Apprenticeship Registration Agency.

The Joint Apprenticeship Committee meets once a month at the AJATC Training Center to exercise its responsibility to supervise the implementation of the Standards of Apprenticeship and to take any action necessary to protect the integrity of the apprenticeship program.

Apprentices are required to contact the Training Director when they encounter any problems or have any questions regarding the terms of their apprenticeship or related instruction during business hours, 9 AM - Noon and 1 PM - 5 PM, Monday through Friday.
