2013 Resource Directory CoverIEC's Apprenticeship Program is fully certified by the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Apprenticeship and complies with all Davis-Bacon Wage Act regulations. The program consists of 8,000 hours of on-the-job-training (OJT) and 576 hours of classroom training. Classes are held in the evening in order for apprentices to work during the day and receive their OJT.

Workforce Development is provided by the IEC for member contractors to attract and recruit workers for employment. Information is forwarded to local high schools in member areas and IEC staff is available for job fairs upon request. The “Electrical Careers” website has useful videos, brochures and recruitment materials.

Loan/Borrow provides an opportunity for members to borrow employees from other members, or loan out a surplus of workers to other members when work is high or low. This saves on using temporary agencies, as well as, laying-off workers with the risk of losing them before work picks up.
