The Colorado Journeyman and Apprentice Training (CJAT) Site is a 160-acre, independently operated, training facility just east of Denver in Bennet, Colorado. CJAT hosts a mechanic/welding shop, a classroom, a multi-platform simulator, and a variety of heavy equipment that Local 9 members can utilize for training. The site is funded through fringe benefit contributions to the Apprenticeship/ Training Fund by Local 9 signatory contractors. This allows members the ability to build knowledge and skills at no cost.

The CJAT facility is where apprentices will earn their training credits while completing the three-year U.S. Department of Labor Certified Apprenticeship Program. During the program, apprentices will learn multiple facets of the trade, acquire an unrestricted Class A CDL, and build a solid foundation for operating and maintaining heavy equipment in a safe and proficient manner. Apprentices will be assigned to an IUOE Local 9 signatory contractor, where they will gain on-the-job experience while earning a full-time paycheck.
