Todd Hawkins, VP Education & Membership Development & Marie Thornton, Membership and Marketing Coordinator
From Wednesday, September 25th to Friday, September 27th, IEC held it’s “Foundations of Project Management for the Electrical Trade” course. This course was developed by IEC National and is 24 hours of detailed duties and functions of project management.
Attendees were immersed in project acquisition and initiation, planning, execution, close-out and more.
A popular topic involving the “Bucket” proved to be extra engaging and beneficial to a majority of the attendees. How to stop the bucket from leaking profits, productivity and non-productive time? Brian Brinkman of Tutor Electric demonstrated many of the challenges that a PM faces on a daily basis, and provided group exercises, discussion and examples on how to begin resolving the leaks. This course provided some great information.
Project Manager, Nykeba Walker of Wiring Solutions shared that her experience during the course was great. She goes on to say, “The instructor was great and I left the course with an increased confidence!”
IEC understands that a confident project manager is a strong project manager!
Additional comments from some other attendees were, “Solid Class, will be registering for other classes offered by IEC”, “The instructor was awesome … able to explain everything to help understand the process”, and “Yes this course really opened my eyes to what is expected of a Project Manager and what it entails to be a confident and effective project manager”. 25 attendees have leveled up their project management skills and are ready to apply them on the jobsite.
Overall, attendees said they would use their new skills to drive profit, profitability and leadership in their jobs. Your team will benefit from this IEC management training, and you are in luck because it will be returning April 23rd to the 25th, 2025. Watch the calendar and make sure to sign up early for the next “Foundations of Project Management for the Electrical Trade.” Give your leadership the confidence, skills and tools to succeed with IEC!
