One World, One Industry: Opportunities Abound for Learning at IPC
It’s fall, and students are heading back to school. Will you be joining them? IPC offers many opportunities for continuous learning, enabling you to enrich your career and increase your value to your company.
Courses on IPC’s online learning platform, IPC EDGE, are created by subject-matter experts who respond to the requests from members of the electronics industry by providing video presentations, clear text, detailed instructions, interactive activities, and practice quizzes designed to make even the most complex industry topics easy to understand and master.
