Updated 01/26/09 3:33PM



The JATC Tuition Reimbursement Policy is as follows:

In order to promote the continuing education of our Journeyman, the Committee has adopted the following policy of tuition reimbursement for training which advances their skills within the electrical trade.

The Committee will reimburse Journeyman for continuing education courses which it deems directed at advancing their skills within the electrical trade and is within the scope of our contractor employer work. Each course will be reviewed on a case by case basis to determine if it falls within this guideline.

To apply for reimbursement, YOU MUST REQUEST APPROVAL PRIOR TO TAKING THE COURSE. This is done by contacting the Training Director and requesting to see the Committee, which meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 5pm at the school in Nunica. At the meeting the Committee will determine if your course is appropriate and if the cost is acceptable. The Committee reserves the right to reimburse all or a portion of the tuition cost. This policy DOES NOT cover fees or books, but is for tuition costs only.
To qualify for reimbursement you must verify receiving a minimum letter grade of B, or a percentile grade of 83.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 2009.

Due to budget constraints, the Committee has adopted the following change to its tuition reimbursement policy for 2009.

The Committee has budgeted $1000 for this program in 2009. This money will be available on a first come-first serve basis. If this money is exhausted, the program will be suspended for the remainder of the year. This budget will be reviewed at the end of the year to determine next year's budget.

Also, in an effort to help as many people as possible with these limited funds, the Committee has decided to limit each reimbursement to 50% of the tuition cost of each approved course.
