George Koletas didn’t take shortcuts to get where he is today. His career in the electrical trade began 15+ years ago. He joined IBEW Local 236 more than 13 years ago and entered the Tri-City Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee (JATC) — a rigorous, nationally recognized training program co-sponsored by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA).
