Institutional
Membership
ETA offers electronics technology companies
and schools a unique opportunity to be involved in technician and dealer
concerns and to participate in improving the electronics industry.
Companies have a number of ways to benefit. First, dues are only a
token amount - affordable by every electronics firm. Then each
issue of The High Tech News carries business and technical
articles important to the industry. Monographs cover topics which
often can't be given time in the jam-packed company training programs or
the curriculum of schools.
Diversity
ETA's information shows you what others are
saying and doing - the politics and the issues that the industry is
experiencing. The member organization gets a picture of what journeymen
techs are doing and to provide the technician work force and what
government units are doing that affects the industry.
Discount
Incentives
All ETA members receive lower prices for ETA
produced study materials, identification items and even seminar
registration. ETA does everything possible to help companies join
in and to raise professional competency levels.
Education
ETA fosters excellence in electronic service.
A continuing stream of technical information has been provided to
members since 1978. Along with those are business management
start-up and employment-help monographs, also available in the ETA
library at a very small cost.
ETA locates or produces study materials for both CET and FCC license
study. Computer discs, videos and printed materials help
technicians keep up with technology and achieve certification goals.
ETA publishes many of the training materials in-house. Our
certifications are based on skills standards.
Certification
While not a requirement for membership, thousands
of technicians have recognized the value of technical certification.
Virtually all professions now require certification in their field.
ETA staff and dozens of its CET committee officials "wrote the
book" on electronics technician certification, having participated
in its origination and administration since 1966! ETA helps members
achieve certification with study materials, through local chapters and
practice exams. Your company can join in this effort to raise the
standards.
Chapters
Dozens of ETA Student Chapters have sprung up
at technical schools. By being a member of the local
chapter, students have an extra opportunity to study for CET, or
add to their school course materials. Interfacing is a great help
in understanding difficult concepts. This helps technical colleges
produce better graduates.
Career
Guidance
ETA presents the widest range of technical
and business concepts in the pages of its journal, High Tech News,
as well as at regional and national conferences. This helps
students see what goes on in the various electronic fields such as
Telecom, Computer, Fiber and other areas. By familiarizing oneself
with the diversity of electronics the technician can better see avenues
of opportunity and cooperation - the best "fit" for him or
her.

products or services in any area of electronics, you are eligible to
