York Electricians Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) first became recognized as a State-Registered Apprenticeship by the Department of Labor on June 29, 1951.  Our program continuously grew and improved up through 2010 when we moved into a new training center.  This new training center has allowed us to make vast improvements to our classroom and lab spaces without the constraints of our previous facility.   In 2018, we changed our name to York Electrical Institute.
