Overview
Mission
NECA employers, both small businesses and major corporations, contribute approximately $300 million annually to our apprenticeship and training funds across the country. NECA’s Registered Apprenticeship Program provides the nation’s most comprehensive apprenticeship training programs that highly compensate our skilled workforce and provide quality healthcare and benefits. Federal Tax Reform High tax rates and a complex tax code hamper our NECA contractors' competitive standing and hinder their economic growth. The time and money NECA contractors spend to comply with the Federal Government’s complex tax code could be—and should be—spent on growing their businesses and creating jobs.
