NAED Education & Research Foundation
In 1969, the NAED Education & Research Foundation was established to provide education, training, and research to lessen the pressure members face to innovate, embrace new technologies, and perform at a higher level.
The Foundation has become a valuable resource in helping advance careers, growing businesses, and shaping the future of the industry.
We’re proud of the resources we’ve developed that set up our members for success. To date, more than 42,000 people have benefited from the Foundation. This includes almost 12,000 EPEC graduates. Thousands more have gained key insights from the NAED PAR Report® or another benchmarking study. Many others have completed the Certified Electrical Professional (CEP) program or cultivated leadership experience by partnering with us to develop new tools for the industry.
The NAED Education & Research Foundation provides education, training resources, and industry research that creates a stronger channel and industry for our members now and in the future.
