IECRM “Special People. Special Creatures.” We learned from each other.

On October 18th, the IECRM Emerging Leaders (EL) 7.0 began their day at Freedom Service Dogs (FSD). FSD trains dogs that come from shelters and rescue organizations to provide military veterans and many others suffering with mental and physical challenges with a caring companion who helps them with recovery.  These incredible creatures open doors, pick up items, pull wheelchairs, go for help, turn on lights, and know more than 50 other commands.  They enhance social interaction and assist in programs for humane education, disabilities awareness, character development for at-risk youth, and rehabilitation therapy.

FSD unleashes the potential of dogs by transforming them into custom-trained, life-changing assistance dogs for people in need.  The EL’s mission was to acquire donations from their respective employers, families and friends. No surprise, they totally delivered!

That day, the emerging leaders class came through with over $900 in cash/gift card donations and an entire pallet full of dog food, treats, leashes, blankets, etc. They really did an amazing job and FSD was overwhelmed with appreciation.

Additionally, the tasks that were undertaken by the emerging leaders were painting part of FSD’s perimeter fence, replacing pendant lighting, and consulting on future lighting needs. The day progressed with addressing security issues, employee safety assessments and planning for lighting, supplies and installation at the new FSD facility. Graybar graciously committed to donate lighting and Piper Electric provided supplies and installations.

The day concluded at industry partner SFI Compliance where EL members participated in an Executive Panel Discussion.  Industry leaders Chris Cumpton, Integrity Electrical; Jeramie Green, Graybar; James Enright, Corey Engineering; and Jim Dent, Weifield Group Contracting shared their wealth of knowledge with the group and relevant engaging discussions ensued.

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.

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)

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.
