The NEAT program prepares apprentices for the challenges and rewards of a career in the Outside Electrical Industry as a Journeyman Lineman member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (I.B.E.W.) – building and maintaining power line systems throughout NorthEastern United States and the nation.

Apprentices learn through on-the-job training, at-home study and classroom instruction.

NEAT is an Area Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee (A.J.A.T.C.) program based on National Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee (N.J.A.T.C.) curriculum and consists of:
• 7,000 hours of study, training and examinations; and
• Approximately 3-1/2 years of instruction and training.

Earn College Credit
College credit is available to graduates of the apprenticeship program, who can receive 25 semester hours of college credit through the American Council on Education that can be applied toward continued college education.
QUALIFICATIONS:
• You must be 18 years of age or older, have a valid driver’s license, receive a qualifying score on the NJATC Aptitude Test and be physically fit. Upon completion of the above qualifications you will be scheduled for a personal interview.
• You must be able to obtain and retain a Commercial Driver’s License.
• You must be willing to work away from home anywhere within your local union jurisdiction and occasionally beyond.
• You must learn to climb. You will be required to furnish your own climbing tools.
• You must be able to function as a part of a highly skilled team, dependent on each other for safety and achievement.
• You should like the outdoors.
• You should like working with your head and your hands; the work is sometimes hazardous and strenuous.
