November 26, 2018

Grab a holiday treat and enjoy this month’s eNews!

November is a very special time of the year.  November brings Thanksgiving and reminds us all to share thanks and count blessings. In November we also begin the ‘Season of Giving’ and the December holidays follow.  

2018 was a terrific year for IECRM, and I am grateful for our dedicated members, engaged partners, wonderful staff, and eager apprentices.

Earlier this month, we held our annual State of the Industry Business dinner and reported that IECRM and its apprentice-training program have had a year of significant growth.  A full recap of my report at the dinner is here. A few 2018 statistics to note, however are (1) a 10% increase in contractor membership; (2) a record-topping 1,883 apprentices enrolled; (3) 42 instructors and the need to hire more; (3) amazing awards recognition at IEC-CON in September including the Apprentice of the Year; (4) and impressive national leadership recognition among our contractor members, professional partners, and emerging leaders.

This coming Friday, November 30th, IECRM members, apprentices, alumni, spouses, children, and friends are invited to our Family-Friendly Holiday Party, coinciding with the LIVE broadcast of the 44th Annual 9NEWS Parade of Lights, where IECRM’s Sparkling Ice Castle float will make its repeat performance!  Skip the line at the Mall and join special guests this year, Santa and the lovely Mrs. Claus. It’s not too late to register for this fun and warm way to celebrate the holidays and view the parade with prepaid parking.  Tickets and more information are available here.

December is IECRM Social Media month and on our list for Santa are year-end Google reviews, more “likes” and “Followers” on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Instagram.  

Another gift we’ve whispered in Santa’s ear and told the Elves about is to be able to see and share all the holiday fun through photos and images from IECRM events and the celebrations held by our members, partners, staff and apprentices.  Wear an ugly Christmas sweater on December 21st (Ugly Christmas Sweater Day) or anytime during the month and share those images with us.  They are always great fun and good for a few Santa-like belly laughs.

In 2019, we will strive to build on our success and aspire to make our initiatives and programs even more inspiring and impactful.   

Wishing you the happiness of good friends, the joy of a happy family, and the wonder of the holiday season!  

 

 

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.
