Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.

NECA Project Management Pathways

The project manager is an essential part of every electrical construction project. Project managers must determine how to effectively plan, organize and schedule and how to efficiently use labor, subcontractors, materials, time, installed equipment, budgets, construction equipment and company money. They must act as a conduit for information and have great communication skills.

To address the industry’s critical need for project managers NECA has developed two different paths to cultivate these individuals—an online program that addresses the project manager’s role, responsibilities, and tasks within short on-demand modules and a year-long, Department of Labor, registered apprenticeship program that provides hands-on guidance through the project management role with technical instruction, on-the-job learning, and real-world project management scenarios.
