The Electrical Training Center is a service provided by the Atlanta Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Trust Fund,  a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to excellence in the training of electrical industry professionals.   

The Atlanta Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Trust Fund is a partnership between the Atlanta Electrical Contractors Association and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 613 that began in Atlanta, Georgia in 1945, and continues to grow at our new state-of-the-art facility located in Norcross, Georgia.   

We are overseen by an 8 member committee made up of 4 members appointed by the Atlanta Electrical Contractors Association and 4 members appointed by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 613. Together, these 8 committee members are known as the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee, or JATC.

I.B.E.W Local 613, charterd in 1919,  was quick to acknowledge the need for an educational curriculum for apprentices.  In January 1921, Georgia Tech developed a curriculum for the Local's members.   Until the early 1970's - training was done at the Atlanta Techinical School.  

The Atlanta Electrical Contractors Association (AECA) is the leading, professional trade association representing, promoting, and advancing the electrical contracting industry in Georgia since 1929.
