Today:
After a few organizational changes later in the year 2000 Atlanta Carpenters' Local Union No. 225 Joint
Apprenticeship and Training Fund established new strategies to train the maximum number of Apprentices and Journeymen.
Our teaching method is now called Enhanced Capacity Training. It is a third generation human technology unique
to the United Brotherhood of Carpenters' with a focus on reducing per-unit costs in training environments. The Training Technologies
delivered through EC-Training are implemented by the Atlanta Carpenters' JATC Director, Coordinators and a group of highly
trained instructors who are accountable for meeting the most challenging of performance standards.
In 2001 we moved our training facility, this training is now available at the United Brotherhood of Carpentes'
training facility located at
3500 Atlanta Industrial Dr., NW, Atlanta, GA 30331.
The Atlanta Carpenters' JATC is composed of:
1- Director of Apprenticeship and Training
1- Director of On the Job Training (OJT)
1- Apprenticeship Coordinator
1- Office Manager
5- OJT Instructors
5- Training Center Instructors
Policy and Operations Division are made:
With a Board of Trustees that is called 'The Joint Committee'. The Joint Committee consists of members representing
our Signatory Contractors of the Associated General Contrators of America (AGC) and members representing United Brotherhood
of Carpenters' and Joiners of America Southeastern Carpenters Regional Council. These two parties work together to give the
Apprenticeship Program the full provision of what is expected from our Apprentices by our Signatory Contractors as professional
Carpenters. All Operating and Disciplinary Policies must be agreed upon by a majority vote of the Joint Committee.
The history and make-up of the Atlanta Carpenters' Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program is designed to teach
skills and values which will benefit our Apprentices for the rest of their lives.
