Working for a brighter future for the industry, NECA is a co-sponsor of the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC) for the electrical industry, which trains more than 25,000 electrical apprentices and is the sole source of significant in-service training for journeyman electricians

As managers, our members want to take a closer look at the future, too - which is why NECA established ELECTRI International, The Foundation for Electrical Construction. The Foundation is the only entity in the electrical construction industry that through research investigates the future.
