IBEW OUTSIDE LINEMEN AJATC

Partners in Learning

Union Built PC played a key role in the “2008 Tour” in partnership with the NJATC, AJATC, and Cengage Learning to help launch the new Blended Learning solution that started January 1, 2009. We’ve developed a line of laptops just for this program!

The tour, designed to educate Directors, Instructors, and staff on the new online learning solution for AJATCs, came complete with tour t-shirts for the students who paid the most attention. In addition, a Union Built laptop was given away to a randomly selected attendee, Russel Powell from IBEW Local 57. Russell is an Instructor with the Mountain States program in Ashton, ID. “I’m doing very well in 2009!” said an elated Mr. Powell when told he won.

We've developed 3 distinct laptops for this program (DOWNLOAD PDFs for: The Student, The Student Mobile, The Road Warrior, The Instructor), and as apprentices and instructors come on line with the Blended Learning solution, we are continually improving our offerings and adding new features. These laptops are union final assembled in the USA by members of IBEW Local 17. Tech support, as well as sales, is also in the U.S. by union members. Uniquely configured with software and shortcuts to all parts of the experience, these are the only laptops guaranteed to work with the Cengage/AJATC Blended Learning program. CLICK HERE.

“We feel confident that our apprentices will be able to use these laptops right out of the box and know that they will last years. Union Built PC’s tech support is the best in the business...I wouldn’t want my guys fiddling around with equipment that might or might not work when they’re trying to get their training and testing done,” said Ron Weaver, Director of IBEW Local 558 JATC in Northern Alabama, whose program has Outside as well as Inside electricians.
