AMPLIFY Pre-Apprenticeship Program & Upcoming Career Fairs
IECRM’s AMPLIFY pre-apprenticeship program is a cornerstone of its workforce development efforts. This comprehensive program allows individuals interested in pursuing a career in the electrical industry to gain more insight into the career path without a financial commitment. AMPLIFY provides participants with industry insights, hands-on experience in electrical labs, and exposure to essential skills like conduit bending.
During the program, participants gain certifications in OSHA-10 and CPR. These certifications give them an advantage when seeking apprenticeships with IECRM member contractors. The program concludes with a dedicated hiring fair where IECRM members can connect with qualified candidates. Click here to view upcoming AMPLIFY sessions.
IECRM’s AMPLIFY program has experienced significant growth in success since its inception in 2021, so much so that we are hosting three sessions this year! IECRM member contractors hired 12 out of the 15 AMPLIFY graduates during this year’s first session in April. This track record highlights the effectiveness and value of the program in connecting participants with employment opportunities. The next AMPLIFY session will conclude on Thursday, June 29th, coinciding with the upcoming Career Fair.
IECRM organizes several Career Fairs before and during enrollment for the 4-Year Apprenticeship Training Program as an initiative to continually develop the industry’s workforce by allowing aspiring apprentices and experienced electricians to connect with potential employers. IECRM advertises its Career Fairs through various channels, including billboards, radio ads, online job boards, and direct outreach to individuals interested in apprenticeships.
IECRM member contractors can participate in career fairs by hosting a booth to promote their company, interview potential candidates, and interact with job seekers. During the first hour of each fair, IECRM member contractors have exclusive access to AMPLIFY graduates. This is an excellent opportunity to connect with top talent in the electrical industry.
