About Redwood Empire Electrical Training Center
The Redwood Empire Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee (REJATC) is a member of the Electrical Training Alliance, a nonprofit organization established in 1941 by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA).
The mission is to develop and standardize educational opportunities for members of IBEW-NECA, thereby providing the electrical construction industry with the most highly trained workforce in the world. The training alliance has developed into the largest apprenticeship program of its kind, having successfully trained over 350,000 apprentices through professional Journeyman status.
IBEW Local 551 and its Redwood Empire Electrical Training Center, located in downtown Santa Rosa, serve Northern California communities from "the Golden Gate to Oregon State." The region includes Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Marin, Mendocino, and Sonoma counties. Our graduates are prepared for a career anywhere in the IBEW, which includes the United States, Canada, Panama, and Guam.
