Tempo® Communications, a leading manufacturer of tools and test equipment for the communication service provider industry, becomes a Platinum Level Partner with the electrical training ALLIANCE (etA), a non-profit organization committed to delivering education in the electrical industry.
This Platinum Level partnership will involve various initiatives with both the students in local programs and the electrical training ALLIANCE. The activities will include instructional efforts, product donations and curriculum development. Further efforts will revolve around training on fiber optic test and measurement practices. Tempo’s broad product line will help ensure the NECA contractors who employ IBEW members remain up to date on the latest and greatest product offers in the industry.
Todd Stafford, the Executive Director of the etA noted, “It is a great feeling to partner with a company like Tempo Communications that has best in class fiber optic test and measurement solutions. We will work hard to represent them well to our students as the IBEW, NECA and etA family know from experience the value of such respected brands.”
“We look forward to this new undertaking with the etA! One that will create a lasting partnership and help narrow the critical gap of fiber technicians as the USA evolves our national broadband infrastructure”, said Tempo Vice President, Oleg Fishel.
