Open Enrollment for IECRM’s 2019-2020 Apprenticeship — Training Program Begins June 17

Interested in a career in electrical contracting? Open Enrollment for the Independent Electrical Contractor’s Rocky Mountain chapter (IECRM) apprenticeship training program starts on Monday, June 24, 2019 for non-members. IECRM member companies can begin enrolling apprentices as early as Monday, June 17. The open enrollment period ends on Friday, July 19 with classes beginning on Monday, August 5.

IECRM’s Four-Year Apprenticeship Training Program is accredited by the US Department of Labor (DOL), Office of Apprenticeship (OA/BAT), recognized by the US Department of Veterans Affairs and is approved and regulated by the Colorado Department of Higher Education, Division of Private Occupational Schools Board.

In addition to students receiving the state mandated classroom instruction while earning their 8,000 hours of on-the-job training, IECRM students also earn up to 44 credit hours toward an associates degree at a Colorado community colleges. These credits are transferable to an Associate’s in Applied Science or an Applied Technology degree. Graduates of the training program can also earn up to 53 credits toward a bachelor degree through CSU Global. Join us at IECRM’s Annual Open House & Back-to-School Ice Cream Social on Friday, August 16 to learn more.

“The vast majority of our students are employed full time as apprentices while they are attending school at IECRM,” says Marilyn Stansbury, CEO of the organization. “Our graduates literally ‘earn while they learn’ and many contractor employers pay for their electrical students’ tuition.” According to Stansbury, graduates typically earn $40,000-$55,000 after graduation, with no school debt.

Unemployed students can apply for tuition assistance and may receive free tuition and books.

“Virtually all of our students leave our program with no student debt, a full-time job, skills that take them anywhere, and a lifelong learning, sustainable living wage to support a family,” says Stansbury.

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.)
