ETI recently teamed up with ETA and Tempo Communications for a hands-on Fiber Optic Train-the-Trainer course—and it was a hit! ?? Led by Senior Instructor Summer Zachary and her awesome crew from the Transportation and Sound & Comm departments, the training packed in everything from fiber termination and testing to the latest in comm infrastructure standards. The best part.

At ETI, innovation isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a blueprint. And nothing proves that better than their latest hands-on training zone: the MAD Lab (short for Makeup And Devices). Don’t let the small footprint fool you—this lab is packing serious voltage when it comes to educational value (minus the actual voltage—more on that in a sec).

Today, the Electrical Training Institute proudly hosted a graduation ceremony for 19 veterans who completed the Veterans Electrical Entry Program (VEEP). These remarkable individuals—representing the U.S. Navy, Army, Marines, and Air Force—came from across the country to celebrate their transition from military service to a new career in the electrical industry.

At the Electrical Training Institute, progress doesn’t happen all at once—it builds. Over the past two years, we’ve been steadily transforming our training spaces to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving electrical industry. Now, we're entering a new strategic phase of that transformation, and it starts with a fresh round of improvements in the warehouse.

Saturday, May 10 at the Bonaventure Hotel—now that was a night to remember. The Electrical Training Institute’s Class of 2024 gathered with their families, friends, instructors, and supporters for a truly unforgettable graduation ceremony. With over 1,000 people in attendance, the energy in the room was electric.

Big changes are underway in the back area of the high bay! Our team has begun a substantial revamp of the hydraulic bender and conduit cutting/threading stations to improve safety, efficiency, and organization.
