IECRM is dedicated to educating, promoting, and advancing independent electrical contractors by developing the industry’s workforce of current and future generations of electricians.
About the Electrical Workforce and Electrician Career Fairs

- AMPLIFY – A Pre-Apprenticeship Onboarding Program that includes OSHA & CPR certifications for participants
- Emerging Leaders Program – A leadership development program for IECRM member companies to develop the leadership skills of their employees
- Continuing Education Units (CEUs) & Professional Development Classes – IECRM offers the required CEU classes for electrical license renewal, professional development training, and safety and equipment training to support the needs of the industry
IECRM is committed to providing our members with outreach and recruitment support.

IECRM and the Community
IECRM reaches out in the community to spread the word and share our passion to inspire the next generation of electricians and regularly teaches an electrical course for pre-apprenticeship programs for CCN (Constructions Careers Now), The Master’s Apprentice, and now our very own AMPLIFY Program. AMPLIFY is a 4-week pre-apprenticeship program that is based on the New Worker Program from IEC National, which provides onboarding of interested candidates along with highly desired training such as OSHA 10 and CPR. The program concludes with an exclusive career fair that is free for members to host a booth. Our training team also regularly attends high school, veteran, and local community job fairs to promote a career in the electrical field.
IECRM offers a variety of traditional and NEW electrical CEUs that can be taken in any combination to accrue the required 24 hours for license renewal. Most courses are offered both in-person and live-online, making it convenient for all electricians and contractors in Colorado & Wyoming to attend. Members always receive the best pricing on CEUs and professional development courses and can take advantage of group rates.
In addition to providing outreach and recruitment support, IECRM offers its members the opportunity to light the pathway for their employees through the award-winning Emerging Leaders Program. This program, in its eleventh year in 2022 with more than 15 participants, provides individuals with the relevant resources, programs, and tools to develop and sharpen their leadership skills to benefit the trajectory of their career, their company, and the industry at large. Apprentices, supervisors, and even established managers are welcome to participate. If you have any questions, feel free to Contact Us!
