What was your greatest professional accomplishment in 2017? The training initiatives that NECA has implemented in such important areas of electrical construction as Building Information Modeling (BIM), prefabrication, advanced project management and Advanced Foreman Training, as well as ongoing safety training programs, continue to expand the knowledge of our contractors.
