Posted: March 3, 2025

We are pleased to announce that we will be accepting applications for BOTH, our Inside Electrical and Telecommunications divisions through a link that will be posted on the IBEW Local 164 website: www.jatc164.org.

• This link on the IBEW Local 164 website will be activated for 96 hours
• This link will allow prospective applicants to fill out a form adding their name and contact information to a list of potential applicants.
• Applicants will be able to request a voucher for the program they want to apply for:
  • We will be accepting 100 applications for the Inside Electrical Apprenticeship
  • We will be accepting 100 applications for the Telecommunications Apprenticeship
• Please Note: You will ONLY be able to request a voucher for ONE of the programs, however, if you submit a voucher for Electrical and do not win the lottery there will be an option on the voucher form where you can request the opportunity to apply for the Telecommunications program. We want you to submit for a voucher to the program that you most desire to be in. You will not be allowed to submit an application for both apprenticeship programs during the same application period.
• Every person who adds their name to the list for either division will receive a confirmation email from the Local 164 website containing their lottery voucher number.
• Applicants will also receive a separate email through our 3rd Party Vendor Constant Contact email system with all pertinent information including the lottery drawing broadcast date and link.
• A Random Number Generator Lottery process will be used to choose who will be eligible to receive an application during this application period.
• A Third-Party administrator (our website administrator) will host the “YouTube” live feed showing the Random Number Generated sequence which will determine which numbers are randomly selected to receive an application.
  • A separate drawing will be held for each division assuming there are more than 100 voucher requests per program.
  • The broadcast date and link will also be posted to the IBEW Local 164 website.
• A voucher entitles the recipient to receive the full application which can be submitted digitally through an application submission portal on the IBEW Local 164 website or if they so choose, receive a physical paper application from the training academy which they can then fill out and return in person via appointment.
• Applicants will only be able to submit their name once for the lottery. If multiple submissions are made for the same application date, only the first submission will be eligible and entered into the voucher lottery.
  • Any additional submissions will be invalid.
  • The local will NOT notify those with multiple submissions that their subsequent submissions are invalid. However, we will accept all phone calls and emails for those that wish to confirm receipt or what their lottery number is.
• A person may submit their name for the lottery each time the lottery is held until such time as they are selected.
• The Spring 2025 application event will take place as follows:
  • The link will be active continuously:
    • From 12 Noon Monday, April 7, 2025
    • Until 12 Noon Friday, April 11, 2025
