Greetings!
We hope your summer is going well! Summertime at IECRM means great networking events for the industry, and preparation for a new semester of apprenticeship, with another record-breaking enrollment period. These activities are a just one example of IECRM wearing two hats.
Did you know that IECRM is two organizations housed under one roof? The two organizations (the industry association and the electrical training program) serve the electrical and energy industry in different ways with the ultimate mission to strengthen and develop the electrical industry as a whole.

Independent Electrical Contractors Rocky Mountain Graduates the
Largest Class of Electrical Apprentices in its History
A record 153 electrical apprentices graduated from the Independent Electrical Contractors Rocky Mountain (IECRM) Four-Year Electrical Apprentice Program in a special graduation ceremony at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities on Saturday, June 9, 2018.
Most notable about this graduating class was that they are 100 percent employed and none of these graduates is saddled with college debt to deal with after graduation. In addition, these graduates are either licensed journeymen or will become licensed in the coming months. A large audience of hundreds of guests including family members, friends, spouses, instructors, and employers attended to celebrate the graduates. IECRM is the largest IEC electrical apprenticeship training program in the country.
Trade schools like IECRM are popular vehicles for students who want to fast-track into well-paying highly skilled careers. Vocational training is also perfect for adult students looking to advance in their current career or even change careers altogether.
“To me, graduating from IECRM is like climbing a mountain in Colorado: it's a long, hard journey and sometimes you genuinely wonder if you will achieve the goal,” said Jonathon Heaner, 2018 class Valedictorian and apprentice at Weifield Electrical Contracting. “But once you reach the top, you see a whole new world of mountains beyond you - bigger, taller, more challenging. This is the fruit of many years of hard work, but it has been worth it as I see a world of opportunity open in front of me...the sky is the limit, and indeed, the sky is the goal.”

What kind of mess are you leaving for your kids?
Most Baby Boomers have spent their lives accumulating. Today’s younger generations tend not to accumulate assets the way their

Why You Want a Retirement Plan in Writing
Setting a strategy down may help you define just what you need to do.
Presented by Greg B. Thomas
Many people save and invest vaguely for the future. They know they need to accumulate money for retirement, but when it comes to how much they will need or how they will do it, they are not quite sure. They will “wing it,” hope for the best, and see how it goes. How do they know they are really contributing enough to their retirement accounts?

WorkLife Partnership Helps Frontline Workers Thrive Despite Economic Barrier
Colorado’s unemployment rate is sitting just below 3%—nearly one point lower than the current national rate. Low unemployment rates don’t tell the full story of economic vitality.
