DENVER - Oct. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- DENVER, Colorado -- October 22, 2014 – Independent Electrical Contractors Rocky Mountain (IECRM) is celebrating the fact that they have reached a defining and crucial milestone – topping 1,000 electrical apprentice students for the first time in the trade association’s 33-year history.  That means that IECRM is officially the largest electrical training school in the United States.

This is great news for both IECRM students and the Rocky Mountain area since the region’s market forecast indicates an imminent large swell in growth and demand– particularly for jobs rooted within the electrical skilled trade and energy industries.

IECRM has partnered with employers, workforce centers, veteran’s career centers, and other higher education institutions to assist students in earning their associates degree while simultaneously earning their electrical license.  Most students graduate the IECRM career college without student loan debt weighing them down, and they can still expect to make between $45 and $55K annually.  At current, a staggering 94% of IECRM students are employed during their education, making this higher education route one that not only provides a solid, skilled foundation for a student’s future in the electrical trade, but does so in an extremely cost effective manner.

According to Spenser Villwock, IECRM CEO, “We are very pleased to see a culmination of our outreach, efforts, and market drivers that have helped us realize this tremendous milestone.  Demand for careers in the skilled trades is at a tremendous high now and for the foreseeable future.  We are doing all that we can to share the exciting alternative to a conventional college bound, roll-the-dice-and-see career path, empowering young people to make the decision that is best for them”.

IECRM works with over 200 employers that are responsible for creating over $2 billion in business each year.  They continue to work hard to promote the skilled trades as both viable and sustainable career paths, and the numbers are evidence that the effort is paying off - giving IECRM some very good reasons to celebrate.
