ECIA Foundation Launches PACE Online Training

Program enables ECIA member companies introductory courses explaining the industry

The ECIA Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of a unique training program for its members to use that explains key concepts and terminology to those who are new to the industry. Thanks to the 50 companies that generously donated to fund the development of the program, the benefit is free to members.

The courses reside on the ECIA website where activity and progress can be tracked and reported back to companies. ECIA member companies and their employees can now access these courses as a members-only benefit.

The course is named the Paul Andrews Continuous Education (PACE) training in honor of the founder of distributor TTI who passed away early in 2021.

ECIA members with profiles on the ECIA website must log in to gain access to the courses. For others, create a profile on the ECIA website first, then access. For more information, please visit www.ecianow.org/PACE.

Proven Strategies to Attract, Hire and Retain Your Most Valuable Asset
Wednesday | June 8 | 3 pm ET | Register Now

ECIA is partnering with the Association Education Alliance to bring you this webinar! The war for talent is escalating. Some organizations are ill-prepared to handle the challenges of an increasingly complex labor market, shackled by the “we’ve always done it this way” mentality. Others are thriving, armed with analytical insights and surrounded by allies, allowing them to snap up highly performing “impact players” and supercharge their growth.
