The IEC Foundation (IECF) is dedicated on supporting IEC chapter educational campuses from coast-to-coast. The IECF works with industry partners of the IEC National association to help secure corporate donations of materials and equipment for updating the student labs in IEC campuses on an annual basis through the IEC Foundation Equipment Grant program. This Equipment Grant program is offered once annually, typically late in the calendar year. To date, the Equipment Grant program has provided over $5M in new laboratory equipment to IEC career schools nationwide. These upgrades in equipment that complement the world-class IEC 4-year electrical apprenticeship education program directly benefit the hands-on learning experience of IEC students, helping to ensure that IEC produces the highest-caliber electricians in the industry.

The IEC Foundation would like to give a huge thank you to both Eaton and Schneider Electric from the bottom of our hearts for the equipment donations of $298,654 to our IEC chapters!!!

The IEC Foundation seeks to create opportunities introducing and guiding men and women to successful and satisfying careers in the electrical and communications industries through Equipment Grants for use by local training and education centers!

Thank you once again for your kindness, generosity, time and effort that you both put into making the dreams a reality for our members!#WeAreIECF
