Veteran Benefits: Energy Industry

IECRM Urges Veterans to Seek Careers in the Energy Industry

DENVER, Colorado – September 18, 2013 – IECRM, a leading force within the Rocky Mountain energy industry, announced today their launch of a new public relations campaign to recruit Veterans into the electrical and renewable energy industries. IECRM is a trade association of over 200 independent electrical contractors, renewable energy companies, and industry business partners. IECRM is also an educational institution which provides on-campus and remote training for nearly 1,000 electrical apprentices and energy professionals, annually.

“Our trade association members actively recruit and hire our Veterans,” said IECRM CEO, Spenser Villwock, MNM, LEED AP. “We encourage those who have military experience in construction, utilities, engineering, and electronics and equipment maintenance to consider a career in the energy industry. We have a great need for new talent and future leadership.”

IECRM offers the following benefits to Veterans:

IECRM and its member companies regularly support and partner with organizations that address Veteran needs. Each holiday season, the trade association facilitates a charitable toy drive for the US Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots. This summer, IECRM provided a booth at its first-ever Energy Industry Job Fair, for Veterans Green Jobs, a national non-profit dedicated to connecting Veterans with meaningful careers in the green sector. In 2014, IECRM plans to donate all proceeds from a select hole at its Annual Golf Tournament to a special organization that supports Veteran needs.

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.

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.
