Overview
Mission
The northern Illinois electrical joint apprenticeship committee was established in rockford, Illinois in 1946 as a partnership between international brotherhood of electrical workers local union 364 and the northern Illinois chapter of the national electrical contractors association. Its mission is to provide the best available training to apprentices of all classifications of the electrical construction industry in north central Illinois, through rigorous classroom curriculum and extensive hands-on practice. Apprentices completing up to five years of study and on-the-job training provide a skilled work force for our customers.
What it reported doing in 2024

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 92% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
