Topeka Electrical JATC Local 226

Topeka, KS

We are the electrical apprenticeship in Eastern Kansas. No one in our area can offer the same level of career training for electricians. We utilize both on the job training and related classroom instruction, with a nationally recognized curriculum, to offer a true "earn while you learn" education. Our apprentices earn good wages and get healthcare and retirement benefits at no out-of-pocket expense. We are affiliated with IBEW local union 226, which ensures the best wages and benefits in the area, the best training, and the safest working conditions for electricians in our area. Our selection process can be lengthy, depending on when you apply, but it is easier for veterans and we often have other job opportunities in the meantime. Give us a call, and we'd be happy to talk to you about our apprenticeship and whether it is right for you.
