The Ripple Effect & Sample LED Boot Camp Trainees
U.S. LED Manufacturing is a powerful engine that is helping to drive American economic recovery, because it produces a diverse range of American jobs over the course of reducing the operating cost on American businesses by 50% or more on lighting. The powerful ripple effects in the new energy economy comes from the number of jobs that are either created or sustained through LED Manufacturing. U.S. Made LED Tube Manufacturing is an example of how a technology can create jobs far beyond the engineering of the core product. Independence LED moved the manufacturing of its LED tubes from China to Boyertown, PA in Q2 2010 and has seen a tremendous lift in demand resulting in clients that range from industrial Distribution Centers to Fortune 100 Companies and from independent businesses to National Chains. Independence LED has also seen the ripple effect of job creation across a surprisingly high number of related businesses.
The photograph on this page reflects the range of impact on energy efficiency with some of the attendees of an Independence LED monthly training: LED Boot Camp. The training includes a combination of presentations, workshops and a tour of the U.S. LED Manufacturing facility. This photograph at the factory includes a cross section of some key participants in the “Circle of Energy Reduction”: A Lighting Designer, Energy Efficiency Solutions Provider, Manufacturer’s Representative, Property Manager, Energy Analyst, and Account Manager. Trainees for the monthly LED Boot Camps have come from across the U.S. and across a diverse range of business backgrounds. As the overseas requests increase from Energy Efficiency firms and Distributors to represent Independence LED, the Company will offer more webinar, skype, multi-media, and online training support, in addition to trips for overseas training.
