A group of Leo Catholic High School seniors who will be participating in a solar energy course next semester spent the day at IBEW-NECA Technical Institute learning more about the industry. We are proud to partner with Leo Catholic High School.

We are proud to partner with our friends at HarrysButtons.com at Easterseals again! Thank you for making our buttons! Union printing done at Bond Bros. The smile on Jorge’s face says it all!

We are so excited to be a part of this work with students at Benito Juarez Community Academy. Juniors in the Solar Academy with IBEW REF are building demonstration models to show how three- and four-way switches allow for lights to be controlled from any one switch, using industry-standard wiring and switch boxes. 

Aurora Greenfest as a wonderful event! Here’s a photo of Joel Pyle IBEW 461 Business Manager, Bob Hattier of IBEW 134 and IBEW REF, and Congressman Bill Foster at our renewable energy semi truck!

Illinois IBEW Renewable Energy Fund is excited to start a semester long class at Leo Catholic High School in January 6, 2020! We will be teaching the basics of renewable energy and electrical safety. This is our first renewable energy cohort with a private high school and will be a pathway to the electrical apprenticeship program. 

Thank you to our partner at Illinois Solar Schools who will provide a grant for solar photovoltaic system for Leo Catholic High School. This solar array will be installed by IBEW 134 electricians. The students will assist the electricians with elements of the project. 

Stay tuned for more info!
