Journeymen Members Upgrade Training D.C. 6 sponsors continuing education programs to upgrade the skills of our member and signatory contractor employees. I.U.P.A.T members are the skilled craftsmen of our trades; it is only through continued training that we can continue to hold that title. As new products and processes are introduced at the workplace, we must be ready to meet the challenges they bring – so it is through advanced training that we stay ahead of the competition.
