The OA Group is for Outstanding Apprentice Graduates of all programs, Entry Level Employees, or individuals that have been identified as a future leader within your organization. This 40-hour program runs Sunday through Friday and features team building, leadership development, estimating, negotiations and the structure of the IBEW/NECA.
Outstanding Apprentice Graduates should check-in on Saturday to receive their registration packet at the Trade Show. At this time, they will receive information that will assist them with their training schedule, as well as visiting the Trade Show exhibitor booths.
Should any JATC / AJATC that would like to register their Outstanding Apprentice Graduate for a Technical Group (T Group) and/or Instructor Group (I Group) may do so, and these individuals will still be recognized at the Sunday Opening Ceremony. Please contact Tim Strickland at 301-715-2347 or tims@etalliance.org to make these arrangements.
