Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committees

Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committees (JATCs) are collaborative groups typically composed of representatives from both labor unions and employers. They oversee the apprenticeship training programs in skilled trades, ensuring that apprentices receive proper education, hands-on experience, and meet industry standards. JATCs set curriculum requirements, approve training sites, and monitor progress to maintain quality and consistency. Their goal is to develop a well-trained workforce capable of performing skilled work safely and efficiently, benefiting both workers and employers, while adhering to regulatory and industry guidelines.
