CEDIA Spotlight: Three Things You Didn’t Know About Why You Love CEDIA

If you’re not familiar with CEDIA, you’ll soon find out that it’s a pretty hot topic around here—from their ever-anticipated CEDIA Expo to the year-round training opportunities, equipping integrators with the most trusted certifications in home technology and beyond. Not to mention the top-notch education programs that build trust in consumers and stronger relationships within the industry. But what else can CEDIA do for your business? We love the obvious benefits it has for integrators and customers alike, but here are our three favorite reasons why a CEDIA membership loves you right back.  

What a CEDIA Membership Means For You

Sets Your Business for Success

CEDIA’s workforce development team is constantly innovating ways of attracting people to the smart home industry. Finding skilled workers can be a tricky business these days, especially those seeking increasingly competitive salaries and benefits. CEDIA allows members to post their resumes/CVs on its Career Center, so businesses looking for technicians can access the library and even post jobs at a discounted rate.

As a member you can also access human resources support on demand at a discounted rate through CourtSide Consulting. This allows access to 24/7 online and phone support from fully certified HR professionals—plus access to a digital library of including job descriptions, templates for common HR topics, support in creating an employee handbook and more.

Invests in You

CEDIA not only offers education opportunities for growth and success, but live, in-person support along the way.  As a CEDIA member, you not only get to partake in their incredible training courses at a discount—but you will have access to their CIT and IST Course Confidence webinar series for free. These sessions cover some of the more difficult content and provide learners an opportunity to ask questions to a live instructor. 

That’s not all. They also recently launched CEDIA Academy, an all-new online learning platform with over 100 hours of education content (so far) to help take your skills and career to the next level.

CEDIA’s goal is for trainees to feel encouraged and confident when they sit down for exams, which they can do at CEDIA Expo…that members also get to attend for free. Sold yet?

Helps Reach Your Goals

At CEDIA, your goals are their goals. To put things in perspective, free tickets to a CEDIA Expo alone pretty much make up for membership dues already. Together with all of the above benefits, you may be surprised at how much a CEDIA membership can help reduce some of your costs and even help you come in under budget during your financial year, all while helping your business reach its full potential and beyond.
