*In lieu of in-person interviews, applicants will be required to complete a Personal Experience Form (PEF), which will be thoroughly reviewed and evaluated by GAN Human Resources. The PEF is an opportunity for each candidate to provide details about their educational and work experience, along with uploading recommendation letters and transcripts.

POLICIES

Apprenticeship Sponsor’s Equal Opportunity Pledge

The Joint Apprentice and Training Committee (JATC) of Greater Boston will not discriminate against apprenticeship applicants or apprentices based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), sexual orientation, ancestry, genetic information, or because they are an individual with a disability or a person 40 years old or older. The JATC will take affirmative action to provide equal opportunity in apprenticeship and will operate the apprenticeship program as required under Title  29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 30.

 Your Right to Equal Opportunity

It is against the law for a sponsor of an apprenticeship program to discriminate against an apprenticeship applicant or apprentice based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age (40 years or older), genetic information, or disability. The sponsor must ensure equal opportunity with regard to all terms, conditions, and privileges associated with apprenticeship. The JATC has designated the following person to oversee Equal Opportunity efforts:

Richard L. Antonellis, Jr.
Phone: 617-436-3710 x 5

  3. A short description of the events that the complainant believes were discriminatory, including but not limited to when the events took place, what occurred, and why the complainant believes the actions were discriminatory (for example, because of his/her race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age (40 or older), genetic information, or disability);
