“In essence, the network cabling specialist’s work touches every aspect of modern life”

“The 631A Network Cabling Specialist trade designation is not new. What is new is [the] IBEW CCO’s Training Delivery Agent (TDA) status as a designated provider for the NCS apprenticeship program in the province of Ontario, with which they aim to significantly advance this skilled trade.”
