A Platinum Partner at IECRM and at the IEC National level, ABB supports the work of our contractors and apprentices year-round.  ABB is a “leading global technology

We asked David Kendall, ABB Director of Industry Affairs – Electrification Global Markets, to provide IECRM with some insights about what makes ABB a great partner:

 

What is your Company’s WHY? What is it you believe in? 

At ABB, we are committed to writing the future of safe, smart, and sustainable electrification for everything from industry and buildings to infrastructure and transportation. Our vision is to achieve a zero-emission reality not only for the future but also today. 

 

What is the most strategic service you provide to electrical contractors and to the renewable energy industry? 

For ABB, the key is the availability of products with fully stocked warehouses and distribution sites located in key areas of renewable energy install activities. 

 

Tell us about your partnership with IECRM.

 ABB has been a long-time supporter of the IECRM. We have been the premier sponsor to the annual golf outing and contributor both in products and materials for many years.

We have offered dedicated education to the IECRM and training and resources for electrical contractors through our webpage #ContractorBetter.

 

Words of Inspiration and Wisdom…

Do not ever underestimate your relationships, personal and business, and the impact you have on the youth.

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.
