C Group

The C Group is for JATC Committee Members, Local Union and Chapter Officers, and all Training Directors. The format for “C Group” is a combination of general session presentations and small group breakout sessions where you choose your own area of interest.

2009 Schedule

C Group schedule Handouts for the 2009 C Group presentations are available online to download.

SC Group is an abbreviated version of the “C Group”. “SC Group” participants have the option to attend the Trade Show, Opening Ceremony and “C Group” sessions on Monday and Tuesday or attend the “C Group” sessions on Thursday and Friday along with the Thursday graduation and concert afterwards. “SC Group” is intended for those individuals who cannot attend the entire week of NTI, but still recognize the importance of the “C Group” seminars and sessions.

This year’s “C/SC Group” will be on campus at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The meeting place for the C Group will change throughout the week – the Rackham, Palmer Commons, Biomedical Science Research Building and the Modern Languages Building will all be used. The “C/SC Group” program will be one of the most comprehensive meetings of apprenticeship and training matters ever offered. Every JATC should be represented by management and labor and no Training Director should miss NTI – particularly the “C Group” sessions. Keep checking back for the detailed “C/SC Group” Schedule.

Committee Members or Training Directors who want to attend some C Group sessions and a 100 Level Technical Course may do so. To do so you must register as a “C Group” participant. In the Housing Drop-down Menu you will pick a housing selection that includes a 100 Level Technical Session. By choosing this option, you WILL miss some “C Group” presentations. You will be required to add $175.00 to your “C Group” fee in order to register for a Technical Course.

As you know, we have made a quantum leap in the way we distributed C-Group presenter information. It has been a tremendous success and we will continue to go paperless in Michigan.

Around the middle of July we will have all C-Group presentations posted on the NTI website for you to download. We will also make provisions for you to be able to stop by our on-campus C-Group office (which will be on the first floor in the Michigan League) to download the files if you are having problems with your preloaded files. PLEASE be sure to load the files on to your laptop. DO NOT depend on internet access in the classrooms for access to the C-Group presentations. Connectivity to the internet in the classrooms will be a crapshoot at best. Once again, please be sure do download the files before you arrive on campus.

We are anxiously awaiting July 31st. C-Group will again be informative and exciting this year. Mark your calendar now and get ready for the very best C-Group/NTI ever!!!
