The Richmond Electricians’ JATC family has recently experienced the heartbreaking loss of several of our apprentices.
Our apprentices are more than students—they are coworkers, classmates, friends, and members of our brotherhood and sisterhood. Their loss is deeply felt throughout our Training Center and across our electrical community.
On behalf of the RJATC Trustees, staff, instructors, and apprentices, we extend our sincere condolences to the families, friends, fellow apprentices, and coworkers who are grieving during this difficult time.
We want everyone affected by these losses to know that you are not alone. The strength of our apprenticeship program has always been found in the people who support one another, both on and off the job. We encourage anyone who is struggling to reach out to a trusted friend, instructor, coworker, family member, or member of our RJATC team.
Please keep their families and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.
The Richmond Electricians’ JATC Family
