practical work site needs of unionized employers and electrical
workers both now and in the future;

located facilities in the province using “state-of-the-art” equipment;
- Programs and courses that are provided at remote
areas of the province with the assistance of employers, suppliers,
post-secondary educational organizations and through the internet;
- A positive profile of ECAA and IBEW working
together to enhance the quality of their work as they respond to
industry needs;
- An autonomous organization that meets the needs
of the electrical industry; and
