Welcome to the official home page of the Mid-Central Illinois Regional Council of Carpenters-JATC. Our training program combines hands-on classroom education by qualified instructors along with on-the-job training. Apprentices attend 4 weeks of hands-on training per year at one of 180 training centers located throughout the country. The MCIRCC-JATC apprenticeship programs partner with community colleges to offer college credit for apprenticeship classes. Our on-site facilities include a dormitory for students living outside a 50-mile radius of Pekin, giving you the opportunity to take advantage of the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program, no matter where you live within the district.
