IECRM’s April Virtual Career Fair a Resounding Success!

Attracting talent to the “essential” electrical industry proved to be very doable in a virtual setting. On Wednesday, April 14, the turnout for our virtual Career Fair was huge. More than one hundred apprentice candidates logged in to participate and met 11 employers and five resource providers, including IECRM, Western Colorado IEC, Adams County Workforce and Business Center, the Colorado Workforce Center, and Colorado State University Global.

“With electrical contractors hiring now across the entire State of Colorado for a variety of in-demand positions, our timing was spot-on. The ‘virtual booths’ had long lines of candidates waiting to speak with them for jobs as electrical apprentices as well as drivers, warehouse workers, and more,” says Londell Jackson, IECRM’s Education & Workforce Development Coordinator.

In addition to the resource providers, this was an excellent opportunity for job seekers, from entry-level to experienced, to meet one-on-one with the following IEC electrical contracting companies:

  • Wayne’s Electric
  • Courtesy Electric Co.
  • Carlton Electric
  • Kenny Electric
  • Circuitus Energy Solutions
  • Piper Electric Co., Inc.
  • Ludvik Electric
  • CEMEX
  • Encore Electric
  • Interstates
  • ADK Electric Corp

Employers experienced an aggregate total of 773 jobseeker visits to their booths. Once the one-to-one connection was made, job seekers engaged in a total of 660 conversations which generated a total of 1,267 chat messages. Nearly 200 resumes were submitted for the 34 jobs posted by employers.

Participating with your company’s booth at IECRM Career Fairs is a benefit to members in good standing. To participate in future IECRM career fairs, please contact Londell Jackson at [email protected].

 

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.
