Investing in the Future

IEC apprenticeship is one of the largest mechanisms for training the electrical and communication contracting industry's future workers. IEC's apprenticeship curriculum is nationally recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training. Across the nation over 10,000 apprentices are being trained through IEC apprenticeship. Being approved nationally allows IEC apprentices to take their training nearly anywhere in the country.

We encourage men and women interested in electrical and communication careers to consider what IEC training has to offer.

Apprenticeship with IEC Oregon
IEC's program is competency based. This means that an individual must gain expertise in specific areas before continuing on to the next level of skills. The unique aspect of the program allows students to learn theory and skills in the classroom, and then immediately apply those skills on the job site. Likewise, when working in the field, an individual will be provided on-the-job-training (OJT), which can then be used to help comprehend aspects of classroom theory that otherwise would be more difficult to understand.

Some of the areas of training include: Ohm's law, electrical theory, residential and commercial wiring, fire alarms, interpreting the national electrical code, motors, transformers and generators, blueprint reading, programmable logic controllers, fiber optics, parallel and series circuits, alternating and direct current, electrical design and electrical grounding.
