What is a local apprenticeship?

Local apprenticeships are structured training programs that combine paid on-the-job learning with classroom instruction within a specific community or region. They enable individuals to gain practical skills and experience while working under the supervision of experienced professionals in their chosen trade or industry. Local apprenticeships are often offered by employers, unions, or trade organizations and can lead to industry-recognized credentials or certifications. These programs are an excellent pathway for those seeking to start a career without attending a traditional college and typically last from one to four years.

What does a local apprentice do?

As a local apprentice, your daily tasks will typically involve hands-on learning under the supervision of experienced professionals in your chosen trade or field. You may assist with routine duties such as preparing materials, maintaining tools, and observing safety protocols, while gradually taking on more complex responsibilities as your skills develop. Apprentices often rotate through different tasks to gain a well-rounded understanding of the work, and you'll likely participate in both practical and classroom-based training. Collaboration with mentors and team members is common, providing valuable opportunities for feedback and skill improvement.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a local apprentice?

To thrive as a Local Apprentice, you generally need a high school diploma or equivalent, a willingness to learn, and foundational knowledge relevant to the trade or industry. Apprentices typically use technical tools specific to their field and may be required to complete certifications such as OSHA safety training or industry-recognized credentials. Reliability, strong communication, and a proactive attitude are soft skills that help apprentices stand out and integrate with experienced team members. These skills and qualities are essential for developing expertise, ensuring workplace safety, and successfully transitioning from training to full-time employment.

Employment Opportunity: Regional Apprenticeship Consultant

(Official Title: Assistant Training Director)


About Wisconsin Electrical Apprenticeship & Training

The Wisconsin National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) - International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Apprenticeship & Training office is a joint collaboration with IBEW local unions and signatory employers from throughout Wisconsin. The statewide JATC comprises eight local regions, each representing different geographic areas across Wisconsin. Each region partners with local educational institutions to maintain the standards of our apprenticeship programs and support the development of skilled professionals in the electrical industry.


Join a team that is shaping Wisconsin's future workforce.

We're looking for a collaborative, relationship-focused professional who enjoys building partnerships, facilitating productive conversations, solving problems, and helping individuals and organizations succeed.


As a Regional Apprenticeship Consultant (ATD), you'll serve as a trusted advisor to apprenticeship committees across Wisconsin, helping local leaders develop the next generation of skilled electrical professionals. Every day brings something different—from facilitating committee meetings and supporting apprentice selection processes to interpreting policies, improving programs, coordinating projects, and strengthening partnerships statewide.


If you're energized by working with people, managing multiple priorities, and making a meaningful impact through collaboration, we'd love to meet you.


What You'll Do

This position combines relationship management, stakeholder engagement, committee facilitation, project management, and program operations. You'll partner with regional apprenticeship committees, employers, labor representatives, apprentices, applicants, educational institutions, and state agencies to ensure apprenticeship programs are well-supported, consistent, and successful.


Relationship Management & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Serve as the primary consultant and trusted advisor for assigned regional apprenticeship committees.
  • Build strong working relationships with employers, labor representatives, committee members, apprentices, applicants, educational partners, and state agencies.
  • Foster collaboration while helping diverse stakeholders work toward shared goals.
  • Provide responsive customer service and professional support to partners across Wisconsin.


Committee & Meeting Facilitation

  • Plan and facilitate committee meetings.
  • Prepare meeting agendas, record and publish meeting minutes, and track action items.
  • Guide committees in interpreting apprenticeship policies and applying them consistently.
  • Support committee decision-making by providing accurate information and operational guidance.
  • Assist in administering local Training Trust Funds, including preparing financial statements, audits, budgets, IRS filings, investments, and expenditures.


Program & Project Management

  • Coordinate apprenticeship recruitment, interviews, registrations, enrollments, and related activities.
  • Lead multiple projects while balancing competing priorities and deadlines.
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes and increase consistency across apprenticeship programs.
  • Monitor program activity and prepare reports for committees and organizational leadership.


Workforce Development

  • Support initiatives that strengthen Wisconsin's skilled trades workforce.
  • Partner with technical colleges, training organizations, contractors, unions, and state agencies.

·        Help local apprenticeship programs provide exceptional experiences for apprentices and employers.

 

What Makes Someone Successful

We're looking for someone who enjoys working with people as much as they enjoy organizing great work.

Successful candidates typically demonstrate strengths in:

  • Relationship management
  • Stakeholder engagement
  • Committee and meeting facilitation
  • Project management
  • Policy interpretation and problem solving
  • Organizational and time management
  • Written and verbal communication
  • Process improvement and continuous learning
  • Collaboration and customer service
  • Technology proficiency, including Microsoft Office, Teams, Adobe Acrobat, and other business applications


Preferred Qualifications

The following experiences are helpful but not required:

  • Workforce development or education programs
  • Program administration or operations
  • Association or nonprofit management
  • Program standards and compliance coordinator
  • Customer success or client relationship management
  • Skilled trades, apprenticeship, or career pathway programs
  • Postsecondary education


We recognize that excellent candidates may come from a variety of industries and professional backgrounds. If your experience aligns with the responsibilities of this role—even if it isn't in the electrical industry—we encourage you to apply.


Work Location

Our preference is for this position to be based in our Madison home office. We also welcome applications from qualified candidates throughout Wisconsin who can regularly travel to Madison for onboarding, team collaboration, and monthly in-person meetings.


Frequent travel throughout Wisconsin is an essential part of this role, including committee meetings, partner visits, and apprenticeship-related events. Most travel occurs during the workweek, with evening meetings and occasional overnight travel.


Regular on-site work at our Madison, WI office with frequent statewide travel (1 to 2 days/evenings a week) with overnight stays (1 to 2 nights a month).


Compensation
