All JM Electrical electricians hone their skills at the NECA/IBEW joint training center, one of the most intensive electrical training programs in the country. In addition, each electrician completes 10,000 hours of classroom and on-the-job training through the National Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee (NJATC).
