Midway through National Apprentice Week, a Reading
training center for electricians will reopen at a ribbon-cutting ceremony
Wednesday to celebrate the improved facility.
The renovated center at 20 Morgan Drive trains apprentice
and journeymen electricians and upgrades the skills of current electricians. It
is operated by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 743,
and the National Electrical Contractors Association’s Reading division of the
Penn-Del-Jersey chapter.
Visitors will have an opportunity to tour the building
and watch virtual electrical lab demonstrations and other activities during an
open house from 3-6 p.m.
The Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee invests
more than $400,000 in its training programs every year, according to the IBEW
local 743 website.
Founded in 1891, IBEW 743 has more than 700 members and
represents construction electricians, communication workers and other employees
in Berks, Schuylkill, Montgomery, Lancaster and Chester counties.
To RSVP, call 610-777-8388.
