“Westex is a strong believer in the IBEW and NECA and we are committed to supporting the future of skills training in America,” said Westex President Dan Bishchoff. “We have worked together with the NJATC in various ways for over 10 years and I’m very happy to formally recognize the value of this great relationship.”
Over the next five years, the company will donate $650,000 to enhance the NJATC’s training curriculum by adding advanced learning technology to the classroom, including the use of online simulations and computer learning, along with classroom and on-the-job education.
As we reported in the Electrical Worker in 2013:
“We strive to produce the very best training materials possible and we believe that this type of commitment for our blended learning model supports the future for how IBEW/NECA apprentices will learn their trade,” said NJATC Executive Director Michael Callanan.
