The Crater Lake Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Trust Fund was originally established in 1967. Structured as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, the program operates to provide for the training and education of electrical apprentices, journeymen, or other appropriate persons.
The Electrical Pre-Apprenticeship program being formed is funded, in part, from grant funds awarded by the State Apprenticeship Expansion, Equity, and Innovation Grant (see included initial announcement). Our primary partner in forming this program is the Medford School District. Other partners and supporters are the Grants Pass School District, Project Youth+, Rogue WorkForce, Oregon Tradeswomen, and Girls Build.
The Pre-Apprenticeship Instructor/Coordinator (I/C) will be integral to this new and exciting program. This program will increase the number of apprentices enrolled in registered apprenticeship programs. Entry to the program will be prioritized to ages 16-24, females, communities of color, those with barriers to employment, and other underrepresented groups. The Instructor/Coordinator will get to have the fulfilling and rewarding experience of helping people earn entry into an electrical trades career. A career that provides to the extent of being a stabilizing force for workers and their families. This will be life-changing for some.

ABOUT SUB
Springfield Utility Board is an independently operated municipal electric and water utility governed by a locally-elected board. Serving 25+ square miles in and around the City of Springfield, Oregon (pop. 55,000), the utility offers its customers some of the lowest water and electric rates in the Pacific Northwest. SUB is a customer-owned community resource.

SUB achieves this because, unlike privately held utilities which look to provide profits to investors, SUB is owned by and responsible to the people it serves.
