IEC FL East Coast Chapter Announces Completion of Electrical Career Prep Course

Partnership with the Palm Beach County School District

WEST PALM BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, May 9, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Independent Electrical Contractors Florida East Coast Chapter (IEC-FECC) proudly announces the successful completion of the inaugural Electrical Career Prep Course offered for FREE to the Senior class at John I. Leonard High School in Greenacres. College is not the chosen path for all and this course has provided the students with an alternative path.

The IEC FL East Coast Chapter congratulates the first participating students who have taken their initial steps toward a promising career as electricians. The program not only equips students with essential skills but also provides them with a substantial advantage in the competitive job market.

This course serves as a vital resource for students considering alternative post-secondary options, such as apprenticeships, which are often overlooked despite their potential to lead to lucrative and stable careers. Through hands-on experience and mentorship, students gain a comprehensive understanding of what a career in electrical work entails.

Looking ahead, the IEC FL East Coast Chapter is enthusiastic about expanding this program to more schools within the district. "Our commitment is not only to educate but also to inspire and prepare the next generation of skilled trades professionals. We believe that every student should have access to diverse career paths, and we are excited about the future of this program," added Bob Terry, Executive Director of the IEC-FECC.
