About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

SkillsUSA and Invitation Homes Announce Partnership to Help Close the Skills Gap

Invitation Homes Enters Three-Year Partnership

SkillsUSA and Invitation Homes (NYSE: INVH) have teamed up for a three-year partnership to help close the skills gap and expand skilled trades education. Invitation Homes’ contribution will support SkillsUSA’s mission to empower its members to become world-class workers, leaders, and responsible American citizens and prepare students for careers in the trade skills industry. Through the partnership, Invitation Homes is addressing a shortage of trained labor across the U.S. that is fueling a widening skills gap.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210721005206/en/

Invitation Homes will pilot two locations this upcoming school year in Tampa and Charlotte and plans to expand its support across all company markets by the 2023-24 academic year. As an employer, Invitation Homes will invest in a skilled workforce and create a strong network of students, teachers, and associates across the country who are dedicated to creating pathways to success within the industry. Invitation Homes will work with SkillsUSA by:

  • Supporting SkillsUSA Works, a program for students in underserved schools and communities that provides career-readiness training through the SkillsUSA Career Essentials program, along with onramps to employment opportunities in the skilled trades.
  • Supporting opportunities for all students at SkillsUSA national workforce development conferences including the annual National Leadership and Skills Conference and Washington Leadership Training Institute.

“Skilled workers are the backbone of our company,” said Invitation Homes President & Chief Executive Officer Dallas Tanner. “We understand the importance of investing in talent to offer and maintain a superior product. At Invitation Homes, our mission is, ‘Together with you, we make a house a home,’ and we couldn’t fulfill that mission without our skilled associates.”

Invitation Homes Chief Human Resources Officer Elizabeth Galloway also notes the connection between the company’s work and SkillsUSA’s mission. “We’ve committed to find, recruit, and educate a future class of students in the middle skills industry because we champion the value of this work every day. Our talent acquisition teams can attest there is a skills gap which can make it difficult to secure talent in each of our markets. We also know that these jobs provide substantial opportunities for growth – including promotion to management positions or the possibility of owning and operating one's own business. That’s why we’ve chosen to step up and lend a hand to uplifting the future talent pool in our industry.”

SkillsUSA Executive Director Chelle Travis echoes the crucial need to recruit and train future skilled trades workers. “We are rolling up our sleeves every day to serve career and technical education, and to forge meaningful partnerships between education and industry that result in a better-trained workforce and an ultimately, shrinking skills gap. Working together with Invitation Homes, we can make this happen.”
