Benefit of the Month:  Workforce Development

IECRM is dedicated to the workforce development of the energy and electrical industry and has developed initiatives to support our members and address the growing demand for workers. We respectfully ask that you adhere to the core values of the association –  Integrity, Competency, Respect, Service, and Collaboration – and refrain from recruiting employees from each other. Please utilize the programs, projects and partnerships we have developed in addition to your own hiring strategies for engaging workers into the industry.

  1. Job Board: Please visit iecrm.org/jobs to post your job openings on our online job board. 
  2. Help our members attract quality candidates: Through a series of Career Fairs hosted by IECRM at no cost to our members, we help you meet job seekers face-to-face, in-person (when applicable), and online.
  3. Media & Advertising: Getting the word out about the unique apprenticeship program and the great electrical job opportunities is crucial. We invest in both paid advertising and earned media, such as this Channel 7 story and this online article, on behalf of our members. 
  4. Hire List: contains applicants available for employment. All have been through the interview process and are listed according to their numeric rating based on an interview with our training committee. 
  5. Experienced Hire List: contains experienced IEC graduates available for employment, with their experience level noted.
  6. Borrowed Worker Program: When a contractor has a surplus of good people that he/she would like to keep when work is slow, they can be offered to other contractors as part of a short-term lending program. Notification can be made through the IECRM office or directly to a Contractor wishing to utilize the program. IECRM has a template agreement that can be shared for your customization and use.
  7. Partnerships with Adams County Workforce Center and other regional workforce centers along with partnerships with schools and pre-apprenticeship programs that refer candidates to IECRM.

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.
