The JAC is rebranding! Over the next few months, the Joint Apprenticeship Council will become the Electrical Apprentice Training Alliance. With our new name, comes a new logo and a new Intake process! Click on "Processes and Timelines" under the "How to Apply" heading for details.

Our mission is to develop and standardize training to educate the members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 353 and Greater Toronto Electrical Contractors Association, while guiding these members through the apprenticeship program. Our goal is to be the #1 rated apprenticeship program in Ontario and equip electrical apprentices with the highest level of skills and training possible to succeed in the electrical trade.
