IECRM April 27th Career Fair Recap

IECRM’s recent Career Fair was a huge success, drawing in a record-breaking number of prospects looking to jumpstart their careers in the electrical and renewable energy industry. The fair, held at the IECRM main campus, boasted more than 20 of Colorado’s top electrical companies and over 100 positions being offered.

To kick off the event, IECRM’s AMPLIFY Pre-Apprenticeship participants who had completed the three-week program and received their OSHA 10 & CPR certifications were given exclusive access for the first hour of the career fair. This allowed them to connect with potential employers and explore the various career paths available in the industry.

“We were very impressed with the turnout and are optimistic about the potential applicants,” said a representative from Wazee Crane, one of the companies looking to hire electrical apprentices at the fair.

The career fair showcased the many solid career paths available for both men and women in the electrical and renewable energy industry. With no experience required, the industry offers on-the-job training and excellent benefits. Prospects were encouraged to train to become electricians while getting paid.  

The U.S. is currently investing in and converting to renewable energy and green technologies, making it an exciting time to join the industry and be a part of the change for a more sustainable future for generations to come.

In addition to the successful turnout at IECRM’s recent Career Fair, the organization’s marketing efforts played a significant role in attracting the record-breaking number of attendees. Through strategic advertising on popular radio stations such as 99.5 The Mountain, 103.1 Front Range, Colorado Public Radio, and 104.3 The Fan, as well as utilizing online news and community calendars and outdoor billboards, IECRM was able to generate widespread awareness and interest in the event.

Moreover, IECRM’s Workforce Development Coordinator, Jordan Renken, played a pivotal role in recruiting prospective attendees by participating in community and high school career fairs.  Through developing relationships with high school counselors, workforce centers, vocational training centers, and other career advocates, Renken’s efforts helped to expand IECRM’s reach and establish the organization as a leading resource for those interested in pursuing a career in the electrical and renewable energy industry.

“We’re thrilled with the success of our recent Career Fair and proud of the hard work our team put in to make it such a success,” said Marilyn Stansbury, CEO of IECRM. “Our marketing efforts, coupled with the dedication of our Workforce Development Coordinator, Jordan Renken, have enabled us to attract a record-breaking number of attendees and connect them with some of the top electrical companies in Colorado.”

IECRM remains committed to providing valuable workforce development resources and opportunities for both its members and the broader community and looks forward to continuing its efforts to support the growth and success of the electrical and renewable energy industry.
