Apprenticeship and Training
Puget Sound Washington Chapter offers a four year training program. Students attend school one night per week. During their apprenticeship students receive hands-on training that is extremely valuable in preparing to take the Journeyman's License Exam.

Workshops and Seminars
The Chapter will soon be offering management workshops that cover topics such as: project management, material ordering, change orders, safety and business management, just to name a few.

Legislative
Our chapter monitors legislation that you as a small business owner and electrical contractor wants to know about. We have a lobbyist in Olympia through the IBA that works on our behalf. Our National officers push legislation in Washington DC. We watch and promote legislation that has impact on your business.

Safety
Safety is a priority with IEC. We provide you with a comprehensive Safety Manual upon joining and your membership gives you access to a series called Tool Box Talks and safety literature. Safety is taught in each of the apprenticeship classes. Putting safety first can save you, the contractor, money, time and more importantly, the health and welfare of your employees.

Membership Meetings
Attending meetings give you the opportunity to network with other contractors and suppliers. A special speaker presents a timely topic at each meeting. Prospective members are always welcome. For more information, contact the chapter office.

Job Board
Membership gives you the advantage over other independent electrical contractors with its new IEC Washington Journeyman's Job Board. This link puts resumes of qualified electricians in you hands at a moments notice. With its access to other cities in the state, you are able to find the right employee to fill a position, wherever the job's location. And you are able to post a listing if you want to advertise a position that is available.
