Platinum Partner Spotlight – Southwire

As one of the leading manufacturers of wire and cable used in the transmission and distribution of electricity, Southwire delivers power to millions of people around the world. Joining IECRM as our newest Platinum Partner, Southwire has proven to be a valuable asset not only to the local association but to IEC National, and the entire electrical industry. 

We asked Southwire to provide us with some insights about what makes them a great partner:

What is your Company’s WHY?  We Deliver Power…Responsibly®. Our mission is to be a preferred provider of solutions to the electrical industry by providing innovative products and services with exceptional quality and delivering on our promises.

What is it you believe in? Our ONE Southwire culture prioritizes the interests of our team members, customers, communities, and shareholders through a continuous commitment to empowerment, trust, consistency, and inclusion.

What is the most strategic service you provide to electrical contractors and the renewable energy industry?  Southwire‘s SIMpull Solutions offer the coordinated use of our products, packaging, and processes to save electrical contractors time and money on their wire and cable installations. We are unique in that we offer a free, comprehensive field consultation service by our direct team of experts deployed throughout the country. These experts can also leverage our on-site training facility known as Southwire Solutions University to help Contractors standardize on these solutions. Southwire has also resourced distinct renewable verticals with Director level team members that have access to all of our solutions and training facilities for this purpose.

Tell us about your partnership and engagement with IECRM.  Southwire’s commitment to IECRM and the contractors it serves is to make electricians’ jobs safer and more productive. Southwire will work together with the apprenticeship training center to have newer electricians understand safe and efficient ways to perform electrical installations. Southwire will also engage the IEC member contractors to build relationships and become a trusted advisor in the region.

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.
