Thomas & Betts Becomes NJATC Platinum Partner
T&B recently was awarded Platinum Level Training Partner status from the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC) and National Training Institute (NTI) in recognition of T&B's role in training electrical apprentices.
"We're thrilled to be a Platinum Level Training Partner," said David Kendall, director of Industry Affairs for T&B. "This achievement reflects our increased participation in NJATC and our plans for additional collaboration in the future."
In response to the anticipated demand for electrical workers, the NJATC and T&B have agreed to develop a joint national apprentice-training program. The agreement also establishes a framework for all T&B programs and initiatives serving the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), for which the NJATC is the national training organization, the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) and the NJATC itself.
During the trade show opening ceremony, T&B presented a $5,000 scholarship for one of 48 recognized "Outstanding Apprentices" to help supplement the cost of their five-year training program as an electrician.
NJATC is a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that electrical apprentices have the best training possible.
