Watertown, CT - In a proactive move to support the growing need for entry-level telecommunications technicians, Siemon announced the signing of a Program Recognizer agreement with C-Tech Associates, Inc. C-Tech is a New Jersey-based developer and manufacturer of training aids and curriculum for communications networking.
Siemon has reviewed C-Tech's Communications Networking Programs for content and applicability to the marketplace and recognizes C-Tech's certifications known as Network Cabling Specialist and Voice Communications Professional. "Teaming with C-Tech is consistent with Siemon's support of continuing education," stated Bob Carlson, VP of Global Marketing. As a Program Recognizer, Siemon will provide ongoing support and will be promoting the hiring of C-Tech Certified Technicians to its national and global network of Certified Installers.
C-Tech took an innovative approach in the development of its training programs.

"It is very important to deliver the technology at a level that addresses the majority of the population and still provides the much-needed skills." Companies have been able to cut as much as 3 months off a new employee's preparation cycle by hiring C-Tech certified technicians.
Since entering the educational/training market in 1995, C-Tech has established a network of over 300 Certified Training Facilities throughout the country, including Vocational and Comprehensive High Schools, Community Colleges, Labor Unions, community and faith-based organizations, Job Corps Centers and correctional institutions.
