CEDIA Unveils New Student Membership and Student Internship Program
Resources are designed to connect more technical, trade, and vocational
students with careers in the electronic systems industry.
INDIANAPOLIS (April 13, 2011) – The Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) has added a Student Membership category to their current membership classifications. CEDIA’s Student Membership is available to anyone who is 17 years of age or older and is currently enrolled at an educational institute.
Those who join as student members of CEDIA receive a selection of CEDIA member benefits designed to help assist them in continuing their career path in the electronic systems industry. Some of the selected benefits include member discounts on CEDIA University education courses and CEDIA Certifications, and free access to the CEDIA EXPO tradeshow floor. A full list of benefits can be found here.
In addition to adding a student membership category, CEDIA has also created a Student Internship program. The Student Internship program is linked to the CEDIA Career Center and allows manufacturers, distributors, and electronic systems contractor companies to post internship opportunities. Student members can utilize the CEDIA Career Center to post their resume, search for internships, and even look for professional employment.
“The CEDIA Student Membership and Internship program are excellent tools that will help young electronic system professionals get involved in this industry,” said Utz Baldwin, CEDIA CEO. “Students represent the future of our industry, and CEDIA is committed to providing resources to support the next generation of electronic systems professionals.”
The CEDIA Student Membership is offered at an affordable annual rate and expires one year after graduation and/or upon being hired by a CEDIA member company.
