The Application Process will Open in January 2022
In the Summer of 2021, IECRM launched the AMPLIFY pre-apprenticeship program that provides a dynamic experience of career discovery in electrical contracting for high school students and job seekers who are considering a career move. The program is offered over 4 weeks for free so that it is available to anyone interested in learning about the career path of an electrician. The inaugural program was a big success so IECRM will be offering two sessions in 2022!
What made the AMPLIFY Pre-Apprenticeship Program a success:
- All participants that signed up completed the entire 4-week program.
- One-third of the attendees were hired during the program’s exclusive career fair AND were enrolled in the 4-Year Apprenticeship Training Program.
- Participants received OSH-10 and CPR, First-Aid, and AED Certifications increasing their desirability to be hired in a construction career (a $400 value).
“AMPLIFY is a great way to understand what it takes to become an electrician and it gets people excited about the industry, giving them a sense of direction,” says Londell Jackson, IECRM’s Education and Workforce Development Coordinator. “At the end of the 4-week Program, participants receive two certifications; OSHA 10 and CPR with a total value of $400, and they are invited to attend an exclusive career fair that gets them in touch with some of the best electrical contractors in Colorado so they can essentially begin their path to becoming an electrician right away!”
IECRM will be recruiting participants starting in January and will be hosting two AMPLIFY Pre-Apprenticeship Programs in the Spring and Summer of 2022. IECRM will extend the communication to high school education counselors and teachers to present the opportunity to students while they are contemplating what’s next after graduation.
“For parents, this free program provides a comfort zone for their students to explore their career options in construction and electrical contracting – something that may never have considered,” says Londell. “This career is sustainable for decades, pandemic proof, and upon graduation from IECRM’s four-year apprenticeship training program, most graduates are employed and have zero debt.”
IECRM encourages students and job seekers to test-drive electrical contracting. “Try it out! See if a career as an electrician is right for you – you might have the acumen and would enjoy the challenge.”
The AMPLIFY program is taught by IECRM experts, experienced electricians and is based on industry standards, establishing clear expectations for participants about what they will encounter on the job.
