Operation Graduation

IEC National Board President & President of Bret’s Electric

Janet Martin, President of Bret’s Electric and President of the IEC National Board, is Zipping Across the Country to Ignite Excitement in IEC’s Graduating Apprentices

Hundreds of IEC apprentices are graduating across the U.S. this summer and IEC is celebrating their hard work, accomplishments, and bright futures through Operation Graduation.

Operation Graduation will follow 2021 IEC President Janet Martin and other representatives of IEC as they travel the country to speak at several graduation ceremonies. Get to know the graduates through photos, videos, and testimonials while you learn more about their local chapters through regional stats and accomplishments.

Our 2021 graduates have jobs, zero post-secondary education debt, and rigorous training in safety on-the-job. The job market is starting to roar back, but anxious college seniors are facing a different reality than IEC graduates as they struggle to find jobs while carrying mountains of college debt. 

“The electrical contracting industry, deemed essential throughout the pandemic, represents a stable, sustainable opportunity for all job seekers,” says Martin.  “Our industry has a critical shortage of workers, pushing wages higher in the skilled trades and making these jobs even more attractive.”

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.)


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)
● All payments that are declined will incur a $20.00 NSF fee.

 

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.
