JW test scheduled for Saturday June 25.  Contact Dan Wolf through the Union Hall if you have specific questions on content.  If you want to practice call ahead and come on in.  We have first year in this week and we can accommodate some practice.

There are numerous changes to the curriculum this year, and a change in scheduling. Nearly all Third and Fourth year Saturday classes will include testing. Semester 1 and 2 tests will certainly be administered on the appropriate Saturday. This is so we can try and schedule in our vendor classes on weekdays and avoid any last minute cancellations and scrambling for content. Second big scheduling change is that Fourth Year apprentices will have three full 10 hour Saturdays scheduled and then they can chose from several offerings of elective classes. We will be giving JW classes on Saturdays (almost always the second Saturday of the month BUT ALWAYS CHECK THE CALENDAR) so you will designate which two of these half day classes you will attend in order to complete your hours. We are hoping a half day class will be more attractive and easy to schedule around. We know for sure there is a demand for such from the JW's. Read your book notices carefully and be prepared that first week of class by starting early. It may be a bit confusing right off the bat but I think in the long run the curriculum changes will be a benefit.

Fraternally,

Our hope is that this will become a discussion forum for training and curriculum issues for current apprentices. You will need to get a blogger id to post comments. We intend to post the same kinds of material that is on the jatc112.org website but in a way that is more interactive and less burdensome to update. Please keep the language appropriate and the content within the scope of the purpose. Politics of the local can wait for a better venue. I hope you enjoy and use this tool.
