Platinum Partner Spotlight: Generac Power Systems, Inc.

Generac Power Systems, Inc. (NYSE: GNRC), a leading global designer  and manufacturer of energy technology solutions and other power products, and Independent Electrical  Contractors, Inc. (IEC) today announced a joint initiative aimed at addressing entrance barriers in the  electrical trade. As IEC’s exclusive manufacturing partner for generator-, battery system- and transfer  switch categories, Generac will offer certified installer training to field and apprentice contractors in  IEC’s Rocky Mountain, Texas Gulf Coast, and Florida West Coast chapters. 

“We are proud to champion the continued development of electrical professionals through this  partnership with IEC,” said Kyle Raabe, President of Consumer Power for Generac. “The high standards  we hold for our Generac-certified installers echo the same level of expectations and education instilled in IEC-certified electricians. The need for backup power and alternative energy sources  continues to grow, and we are thrilled to help lay a foundation for more highly skilled electricians and  tradespeople.”  

Each year, more than 3,000 apprentices and field contractors across three local IEC chapters will have  the opportunity to receive training in Generac product installation and earn their certification in  accordance with Generac’s rigorous installation standards. In addition to contributing technical lesson  content, Generac will train program instructors and provide products and equipment for corresponding  lessons. Beyond the classroom, Generac leaders will share their knowledge and experience with IEC  apprentices and contractor members at annual IEC national and local chapter events.  

“As a premier industry workforce development organization, IEC wants to foster great partnerships for  our workforce and for our members. We’re committed to helping IEC members find the best solutions in  our rapidly evolving industry,” said Thayer Long, executive director at IEC. “We’re excited to partner  with Generac, a market leader in the industry, and work with them to offer best-in-class training for our  members and prepare the many electricians who go through our programs for the future.”
