Training
The NJATC was created over 58 years ago and has developed into what perhaps is the largest apprenticeship and training program of its kind. Local programs affiliated with the NJATC have trained over 300,000 apprentices to journeyman status without cost to the taxpayers. This joint program between the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) has clearly demonstrated the most cost effective way to train qualified craft workers.
MASCI provides opportunities for the apprenticeship community to discuss and promote ideas for the improvement and maintenance of the apprenticeship system in Michigan.
M-HRDI is a private non-profit (501 C 3) corporation established and operated to provide employment and training services to unemployed Michigan residents. M-HRDI has successfully operated publicly funded employment and training projects in Michigan for over twenty years.
