The promotion of local joint committees is one of the objectives of which organization?

The correct answer is NJATC, which stands for the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee. This organization is dedicated to advancing the education and training of electrical apprentices and journeyman workers. One of its key objectives is to promote the establishment and function of local joint committees, which are essential for managing apprenticeship programs at a local level. These committees typically consist of representatives from both the labor and management sides of the electrical industry, and they play a vital role in ensuring quality training, addressing local workforce needs, and adapting training programs as necessary to meet current industry standards.

While IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) is a large labor union representing electrical workers, and NECA (National Electrical Contractors Association) is an association for electrical contractors focused on industry standards, policies, and business development, their main objectives do not primarily center on the promotion of local joint committees. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) is a government agency focused on ensuring workplace safety and health, and its objectives are not directly related to the training and apprenticeship of electrical workers. Therefore, NJATC is the organization that specifically promotes the formation and support of local joint committees for apprenticeship oversight and training.
