BICSI Lab Technology Center Opens at Encore Electric

Each project, building, or installation may require different types of technology – ranging from outdated to cutting-edge systems – and the BICSI lab features a mix of both, providing students with essential hands-on training. From cable installation and telecommunications distribution systems to data center designs and outside plant designs, the BICSI lab advances low-voltage professionals.

To celebrate this achievement, Encore Electric held a ribbon-cutting event last week to celebrate the first BICSI class and the opening of the Technology Learning Center (TLC), which is an Encore Electric learning hub for everything low-voltage.

Earning a BICSI certification requires ICT professionals to complete an intensive week of training. The new Encore Electric BICSI Lab Learning Center will play a vital role in supporting and developing the Encore Electric Technology Solutions team and provide a career path for low-voltage professionals.

“It’s very important to have a career path for our people and to elevate them in the industry. With the BICSI lab, we can do this,” said Tom Waltemath, Encore Electric director of technology solutions, at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “Throughout my career, I have had people who supported me and now it’s my turn. I want to give back by helping the next generation find their place in this industry.”
