NECA Student Chapters provide meaningful, practical professional development opportunities for students to explore and prepare for careers in the electrical construction industry.
NECA Student Chapters are supported by ELECTRI International, the local NECA chapter and contractors, and the participating college or university. These organizations commit to providing students with a variety of opportunities to develop professional skills and industry knowledge through experiences in the industry.
Student chapter programming will create opportunities for students, contractors, and educators to build relationships based on four pillars of success:
Unique advantages of the involvement in student chapters include:
- Exclusive educational and training resources
- Connections to internship and job opportunities
- Mentorship opportunities with industry professionals and student peers
- Invitations to local and national industry events
