The Future of the Electrical Industry

Where is the electrical industry going and who is going to take us there? Both IEC National and IEC Rocky Mountain Chapter have identified some of our very own emerging leaders. Together we are working on leadership and the pathway to a better future for our industry.

The electrical contracting sector as a whole has started to provide emerging leaders with the tools to help grow and strengthen their careers and professional development opportunities. As part of this, we are taking the time to better understand the potential challenges and begin to develop solutions through working groups of emerging leaders. This is helping us gain insight and understand the challenges/opportunities our members face in the future while developing new skills for these new leaders.

It’s true that while the electrical industry has tens of thousands of leadership positions, only a small percentage are filled by emerging leaders. By definition, an emerging leader is not just defined by age, but by many factors and characteristics belonging to an individual based on years of experience in different roles in the electrical contracting business. 

Everyone, not just a select few, has the potential to become known as a leader. Emerging leaders recognize the power of influence without authority, position, or title in their quest to become known as a leader of others.

Among the impressive group of twenty individuals recognized nationally as Emerging Leaders this year,  five are with IEC Rocky Mountain member companies: 

  • James Enright, Corey Electrical Engineering 
  • Leighland Gutierrez, Courtesy Electric Company
  • Katie Hobbs, InPwr
  • Michael Megara, Weifield Group Contracting 
  • Mike Stoole, Bret’s Electric 

Meet and congratulate all of IEC’s Emerging Leaders at IEC Convention & Expo 2019 during the Welcome Reception at the St. Louis Ballpark Village on October 2nd. #WeAreIEC #BuildTheFuture #IECUinSTLOUIS

 

 

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.
