About Electrical Joint Training Committee (EJTC) — IBEW Local 213

The Electrical Joint Training Committee (EJTC) is the training arm of IBEW Local 213 — the unionized route into the electrical trade for BC's Lower Mainland.

Based in Port Coquitlam, IBEW Local 213 covers Metro Vancouver and much of the Lower Mainland, placing apprentices with signatory contractors.

Admissions: This is the unionized route: the EJTC delivers electrical training and IBEW Local 213 connects apprentices with signatory employers; you still register with SkilledTradesBC and complete the four levels plus work-based hours toward your Red Seal Certificate of Qualification.
