NORTHGLENN, Colo. - July 13, 2022 - PRLog -- Independent Electrical Contractors Rocky Mountain (IECRM) - the largest IEC Electrical Training Program in the U.S., hosts electrical trade career fairs to help fulfill the growing demand for skilled electrical workers in Colorado. An electrical career is a great opportunity for those that are looking for a sustainable rewarding career without the debt of a traditional 4-year college.

Once a job has been secured it is time to obtain the required classroom training hours with IECRM's 4-Year Apprenticeship Training Program.
