The JATC has a Memorandum of Agreement with Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) giving JATC graduates a huge head start toward obtaining an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Electrical Technology.

JATC graduates who are IBEW members may enroll at a KCTCS college offering the AAS in Electrical Technology and will be awarded 47 credit hours toward the degree. There are three Specializations for the degree: Industrial Electrician, Construction Electrician, and Motor Control Electrician. Additional requirement for each specialization are: 

AAS in Electrical Technology, Construction Electrician
Complete 18 hours general education courses as specified for the AAS Electrical Technology Program. Meet KCTCS GPA and 24 hour residency requirements.
AAS in Electrical Technology, Industrial Electrician
Complete 18 hours general education courses as specified for the AAS Electrical Technology Program. Meet KCTCS GPA and 24 hour residency requirements. Complete course #'s EET 276 and EET 277 or pass the challenge exam for these courses.
AAS in Electrical Technology, Motor Control Electrician
