Outstanding Apprentice Graduate Group

The OAG 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.

Sunday ceremony

The Opening Ceremony will take place Sunday evening at the Rynearson Football Stadium. Graduates are requested to assemble in the Auxiliary Gym no later than 4:45 p.m. for a group photograph prior to the start of the ceremony.

As part of the Opening Ceremony, all outstanding apprentice graduates are required to follow the event dress code. Participants will be provided with a black polo shirt to wear during the ceremony. You will receive this shirt when you pick up your registration packet at the trade show. The polo shirt should be paired with professional business attire, such as slacks, skirts, and professional footwear.

Casual items such as ball caps, sunglasses, tennis shoes, sandals, and flip-flops are not permitted. Participants who do not meet the dress code requirements may not be permitted to take part in the Opening Ceremony.
