Want your raise on time? Be
sure and submit your monthly OJT hours by the 10th of
the following month. Failure
to do so will delay your raise
for at least 30 days. Don’t
throw your money away.
School Payment
We now accept credit/debit
cards (VISA & MC) to make
your books and tuition payments. There is a convenience
fee that is added to the total if
using a card.
Missed School

missed school hours to avoid
any penalties. Your hours
must be made up within 90
days from the missed class
date or before the start of the

TRAINING DIRECTOR’S NEWS
Changes at the JATC: More changes again…. Barry Blackburn has been hired as lead instructor starting August 1, 2016. Barry will replace Steve Harper as Steve starts to transition
into the job as Training Director as my departure gets nearer. This will be the last Newsletter
that I will be writing and want to thank all that have supported and thanked me. I will say I
truly enjoyed my 21 years here and that the most rewarding time of each year has been
watching all the apprentices graduate during the graduation banquet. I would also like to
thank my Committee members, past and present and instructors for their support in letting me
make a few decisions in making our program one of the best (at least I think so), but there is
room for improvements and it’s time to let the next TD put his stamp on the program and
keep it moving forward. Thanks again and in a few months I hope to be soaking up some sun
:-).
EEO: If you know of a minority or female that would be an asset to the IBEW and NECA please
have them apply. We are always looking for qualified minority applicants!!!
