Established in 1996, IEC Indy is a leading force for independent electrical contractors and their staff in Indianapolis and surrounding regions. Our mission is to provide resources, education, and advocacy to help independent electrical contractors thrive in an ever-evolving industry. Whether you’re an electrical technician working to obtain your electrician certification or a seasoned professional looking to stay up to date with the latest technologies, IEC Indy is here to support your journey.
IEC Indy offers members a wide array of services and benefits, including professional development, advocacy, networking opportunities, and member discounts. IEC Indy also provides members with vital continuing education classes. Additionally, our electrician training programs are designed to meet the growing demand for electricians in Indiana and help anyone who wants to learn to be an electrician or is pursuing a career path in the electrical field, ensuring they are equipped with the skills needed to be an electrician, from foundational knowledge to advanced techniques that are crucial in today’s electrical trade.
Through our highly-rated Apprentice Program, employees can train to become an electrician, earning their Journeyman/Journeywoman electrician certification. These certifications open doors to greater job opportunities and higher earning potential, making it easier for members to find success in the electrical contractors industry. Our programs are designed to meet the needs of individuals at all stages of their careers, from those becoming an apprentice electrician to those already working as an electrician and seeking further development.
Electrical contractors and their staff gain the necessary skills to meet the challenges they encounter on the job—whether it’s maintaining and repairing electrical systems, installing new light fixtures, or adhering to the strict requirements of the national electrical code. No matter how large or small the job, our training prepares them to excel in any task.
In addition to the electrical technician certification programs, another benefit of IEC Indy membership is our partnerships with area businesses, allowing members to obtain the best prices on quality materials. This helps ensure our members remain competitive in the marketplace while maintaining high standards of safety and efficiency.

We are committed to shaping the future of the electrical trade by equipping our members with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed.
Our advocacy efforts extend beyond education and training. IEC Indy works with federal, state, and local legislatures to support policies that benefit independent electrical contractors and their businesses. We understand the importance of having a voice in the regulatory process, and we fight for legislation that allows contractors to thrive while ensuring consumer safety.
