Cash

In order to keep the pipeline full of qualified, trained electricians and technicians, we understand the need for IEC chapters to have funding to keep current programs running, to create new programs inherent in keeping our students up-to-date with industry changes, and provide means for students to stay in school.  Funding keeps IEC training centers moving forward, and keeps the pipeline flowing so IEC contractor members always have highly-trained individuals to perform the work. read more
