Who Are We?
The Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee of the California-Nevada Line Construction Industry (California-Nevada JATC) is a non-profit association designed to systematically train unionized workers for the outside electrical construction industry.
The main focus of the California-Nevada JATC is to keep the outside electrical industry within our two states with an adequate number of highly skilled journey level workers. We do this by offering two different apprenticeship programs: Outside Electrical Lineman Apprenticeship and Substation Technician Apprenticeship.
Train for this work with the California-Nevada JATC, and go from a new apprentice to a journeyman lineman in fewer than four years. With more than 500 line contractors in the organized electrical construction industry, you can be assured of meaningful, lifelong work – with opportunities for advancement.

As a journeyman lineman you’ll build, maintain and repair the power lines that carry electricity to homes and businesses. When you apply for the California-Nevada Outside Lineman Program you’ll be taking the first step to a career that not only has a tremendous impact on the people you serve, but one that will have a positive impact on your future as well.
Substation Technician
As a journeyman Substation Technician you will build, maintain, operate, and repair electrical power substations, switchyards, and associated systems.
When you apply for the California-Nevada Substation Technician Program you’ll be taking the first step to a career that not only has a tremendous impact on the people you serve, but one that will have a positive impact on your future as well.
