About

Our 1600+ membership includes inside electrical wiremen, and employees working in cable television, electrical equipment servicing, government, radio-television broadcasting, and the telephone industry. Our Union Hall is located at 3000 Troy-Schenectady Road, Niskayuna, NY 12309.

This is the official web site of IBEW Local 236. It is our intent to have this site serve as an informational tool for our Local 236 membership, for our International Brotherhood and for anyone interested in who we are. Upcoming events, special announcements, called meetings, meeting changes and whatever is relevant and important to the members will be posted and updated on a timely basis.

Training

In 1941 the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) jointly formed the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC) to produce the best trained electrical workers in the country.

Local 236 and the Albany Chapter of NECA sponsor the Tri-City Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee. The Training Center is located at 428 Old Niskayuna Road, Latham, NY 12110. Please visit the Tri-City JATC website, http://www.tricityjatc.org,  for apprenticeship application dates and qualifications.  You can also look for our recruiters manning booths and setups at various job fairs throughout the Local 236 region.

The Apprenticeship Committee is also in charge of coordinating Journeyman upgrade classes including courses in instrumentation, welding, VDV, medium voltage splicing, photovoltaic and other aspects of the trade. In the future, as these courses are scheduled they will be announced on this website.

Satellite Office

The Local 236 satellite office is located in the rear of 3 Hemphill Place in the Parade Ground Village on Route 9 in Malta, NY.  The Malta office is open as needed and currently does not hold regular hours.
