Colorado Springs Electrical JATC: Building Colorado Springs’ Electrical Future

Nestled at the foot of Pikes Peak, Colorado Springs is a city powered by innovation and skilled labor. The Colorado Springs Electrical JATC plays a vital role in that ecosystem.

Business Overview

The Colorado Springs Electrical JATC operates as a community-focused vocational school. Its mission is straightforward: deliver the highest standard of electrical apprenticeship education. While they do not offer 24/7 emergency electrical repair, their work provides the essential foundation for all electrical services in the region. They prepare apprentices for both residential and commercial electrical work, ensuring our local workforce can handle everything from wiring a new home in Black Forest to maintaining complex systems at Fort Carson.

Key Services

The core offering is a rigorous, multi-year apprenticeship program. This training prepares individuals for careers as journeyman electricians.
