This interview is conducted at the Apprenticeship school by the JATC members. They will ask questions about your academic history, job history, related training/hobbies etc. all in an effort to place the best qualified applicants into our program. We receive anywhere from 100 to 250 applicants per year and take in 20 - 40 apprentices each year, so this is the hardest part of the process.
