The Alameda County Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee has approved "The Construction Technology Training Program with new laptops, tablets and new software offerings".

Over the last 18+ months, but especially the last 6 months professionals in all corners of this trade and other trades folks contributed to formulating the best training plan put before the Trustees.  A sincere thank you for listening, giving feed back and pointing this movement in in some new directions.  Special thank you to Chris Doyle, Construction Technology Guru IBEW 332 for bouncing ideas back and forth.

Double Bonus points to the UA from Mike Zivanovic UA 597 in Chicago to Patrick Ramirez UA 469 in Arizona to Stephan Schnell UA 467 in Burlingame to Chris Eberhardt UA 393 in San Jose to Gabe Maestretti UA 342 Concord.  The UA has been not only generous with their program and hardware details but open about what works for them and what they would change the next time around.  Thank you UA!

Triple Bonus points for those Electrical Contractors who expressed the directions they were headed and the technology skill sets they are looking for in IBEW members. 

What does this mean for an IBEW LU 595 Inside Wireman?  It means the Zero Net Energy Center will be offering new Construction Technology courses to fellow members.  The three new training opportunities will be Revit with Navis Manage, Bluebeam Extreme and PlanGrid. Training course starting this Summer and Fall 2019.   Details will be on your Continuing Education mailer and posted to the JATC website.
