Benefits of Membership

By becoming a member of EPCE, your company or organization will receive significant benefits:

  • Employers gain immediate access to online education programs that help meet workforce needs by providing the knowledge and skills necessary for new workers to enter the industry and existing utility employees to move forward in their career.
  • As a coalition, members influence EPCE's strategic direction and determine how to best leverage industry sponsored online education to meet current and future workforce challenges.
  • Members review and influence the content of the programs, ensuring they are up-to-date and change as the industry changes.
  • Employees receive substantial tuition discounts, which can translate into reduced tuition assistance and training expenses.
  • Members will have access to a source pool of trained potential employees as the program matures.
  • The EPCE programs serve as a solid education platform for further company-specific training.
  • Employees can get credit for what they know by demonstrating knowledge and skills from previous education and company training.
  • As the resources of many Training departments are being reduced, outsourcing internal training to EPCE saves time, staff resources, and expenses.
  • Employers may decide to waive qualifying tests for students who have completed the certificates or degrees, saving additional time and resources.
  • EPCE gives members a forum to network with other training contacts across the industry.
  • Organizations receive positive press and visibility as members of this innovative partnership.
