Greencastle, June 26, 2019: Increased usage of mobile devices is causing significant growth in wireless traffic, which necessitates an increased demand for the addition of qualified and certified professionals in the workforce to design, install, maintain, and support communications systems. To meet this demand, ETA® International will host the industry’s most respected training providers to conduct hands-on training courses leading to accredited ETA certification during Education Forum 2020 (EF20), co-locating with International Wireless Communications Expo (IWCE).

By partnering with IWCE, Education Forum attendees get access to hundreds of vendors and dealers in the communications technology field at the exhibit hall in the Job Training and Education Center, where the need for these certifications and skills are in demand.

“We bring training and certification together at one convenient location during Education Forum,” said Teresa Maher, CSS, President, ETA International, adding, “Professionals will get plenty of one-on-one attention and won't need to coordinate with trainers to attend classes or arrange for a proctor to take an exam later.”
