Sam Bulagay - National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA)/International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 26 Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) - Maryland Apprenticeship Training and Program – Testimonial - Workforce Development and Adult Learning

“Growing up it was ingrained in my psyche that college was the only way to be ‘successful.’ My apprenticeship through the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) has proved that mentality to be a fallacy and has done nothing but open various opportunities for myself and my family. I have been able to provide a life for my family that I did not envision I would be able to do at 27 years of age and I have yet to reach the apex of my career. I appreciate all the support my instructors, field leaders, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) have shown me in my young career. If you are ready to change your life for the better, I highly recommend applying to the program and invite anyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, or sex. I am a walking testimonial that anyone who applies him/herself can achieve success in something in which he/she had no prior experience.”
