SRP sponsors two registered apprenticeship programs. The first, the Joint Apprenticeship Corporate Committee (JACC), is co-managed by the IBEW Local 266. It includes the trades of auto mechanic, cable splicer, construction and maintenance man, lineman, machinist, metal fabricator, meterman, plant electrician, plant mechanic and substation electrician.

Candidates for the JACC program must be current SRP employees to qualify for one of these apprenticeships. The ATC program accepts both internal and external bidders. All trades require educational prerequisites, and interested candidates should contact the Apprenticeship Office for more information.
The advertisement period lasts from mid-January to the end of February each year. During that time, the Apprenticeship Team conducts informational meetings and packet review clinics. The application period opens for 10 days at the beginning of March, and the behavioral interviews start the first week of April. Trade orientations take place the second week of April. These are followed by technical interviews and final selections. Indenture is on the first pay period in May.
