Apprenticeship

Our apprenticeship program, which began in 1994, was originally a 4-year program. Effective June 14, 1999, Local 46 and Puget Sound Chapter, NECA adopted the NJATC guidelines of a 3-year program.

Applications are accepted Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM and must be filled out at their office along with a $42.00 application fee. Check with the JATC for verification of times and fees.

History of the Teledata Unit

Looking back in history you can find some companies who have been signatory with Local 46 since the early 1980's. D.W. Close signed a Letter of Assent in October 1983, authorizing Northwest Communication Contractors Association as it's representative for the then current Sound - Communication - Telephone Interconnect Agreement.

Today's Sound and Communication Unit officially started at Local 46 in 1989 with approximately 20 people and only a few contractors. This unit is over 400 strong and growing rapidly, adding an average of 30 people per month, and currently has over 100 signatory contractors.

Our current agreement is in two parts:

1) The Ninth District Sound and Communications Agreement Between The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and The National Electrical Contractors Association

2) Current Local Addendum was implemented by NECA, effective 2003.
