The National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) is the VOICE of the $100 billion industry responsible for lighting power and communication systems in buildings and communities across the United States. NECA’s national office and 120 local chapters advance the electrical contracting industry through advocacy, education, research and standards development.

NECA-IBEW together provides a model education partnership through the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC) that produces the best-trained VDV technicians and electrical apprentices in the country.
