A Career in Electrical is No “Alternative”

The skilled trades are a great, stable career – but often it doesn’t get characterized that way. There are many instances where working in skilled trades has been affected by “the stigma.”

Meet Londell Jackson, the newest member of the IECRM professional staff. Londell is IECRM’s Education & Workforce Development Coordinator and, as such, serves as the primary support for IECRM’s Continuing Education (CEUs) courses. He also is working to attract underrepresented populations to the electrical field for IECRM through his involvement in many civic and community organizations and several community outreach initiatives. Plus, he says he’s had a “spark” for the electrical field since he was 11 years old.

“My vision of my role at IECRM is to eliminate the notion that a career in the electrical industry is an alternative career choice. There’s no such thing,” he says. “While supporting continuing education for licensed electricians, normalizing entry into the electrical trade – all trades for that matter – is a top priority for me.” Londell is aggressively increasing the visibility of the apprenticeship program among various segments of the community who may be hesitant to explore an electrical career.

As Education Coordinator, he supports both students and instructors prior to, during, and after course completion. Additionally, Londell helps IECRM to establish CEU reciprocity agreements with states across the nation.

Londell is a sixth-generation Coloradan and holds a Master of Education degree from Regis University. He has worked with national, state, and local nonprofits for 20 years and understands the need for community development and education.

“I’m excited to be here at IECRM,” he says. “Stop by and say hello.”

 

IECRM Self-Pay Tuition Policy

 

Self-pay students who are employed with a member company must register and pay through the member company using the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process in order to qualify for member rates.

Self-pay students that are employed with a member company but that do not register and pay through the member will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who are employed with a member company and require a payment plan will not qualify for the member rate and will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who do not work for a member company will continue to be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


To maximize association/membership benefits, ALL member companies are encouraged to register and pay for all enrolled apprentices utilizing internal payment arrangements and processes between employer and employee.


We value our IECRM members and apprentice community. We encourage all apprentices to be enrolled in the four-year apprenticeship program, earning, and learning their way toward Journeyworker licensure. We encourage all members to utilize the member discount for tuition, books and applicable fees to ensure the long-term support and success of the next-generation electrician.


(Payment Plans are available, please reference the Self Pay Payment Plan Policy.)


Self-Pay Payment Plan Policy


We offer the following arrangements for students that are unable to pay in full at the time of registration.


● Self-pay students will be charged the non-member rate.
● A 50% down payment of total semester tuition, books and applicable fees are due at registration.
● Remaining balance can be divided up to 3 additional monthly payments ($10.00 processing fee applies on each installment)
● All payments that are declined will incur a $20.00 NSF fee.

 

We encourage all students who are employed with a member company to work with their employer to register and pay through the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process. This will ensure the student is paying the lowest possible rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.
