Start your path before the apprenticeship even begins.

VOLTA Training Academy is designed with NW Line JATC and industry partners to prepare you for what the job actually demands—not just the classroom.

You’ll train to real benchmarks, build the habits expected on job sites, and gain direct exposure to apprenticeship-level expectations.

Most VOLTA grads move on to NW Line JATC apprenticeships or groundman positions with union contractors.

Summer applications are still open—take the first step.

If you’re able, please consider donating and helping lighten the load while he recovers.

Standing Tall for One of Our Own

In times of crisis, we look out for our own. Please consider donating to support Dustin and his family as they navigate the road to recovery. Every bit helps ease the burden during this incredibly difficult time.
