May 20, 2009 During its Spring Conference, BICSI conducted the second installment of its Cabling Skills Challenge, and reigning champion Jessie Spearman took home the top title again. “I couldn’t believe that I won again,” said Spearman. “But win or lose, being here is a great experience. Before the competition, I thought BICSI was just a training organization, but through these conferences I’ve learned BICSI is more about career development and helping people grow. Since the last competition, I was promoted from foreman to supervisor and now I oversee Vision Technology’s Virginia office operations.” In total, 24 BICSI-certified competitors participated in the challenge. After completing several events—including structured cabling, copper cable terminations, fiber termination, cable assembly, cable troubleshooting, technical support, professionalism and a written competency exam—the following winners rose to the top. ITS Installer 1 1st: Vincent Stantucci 2nd: James Sundy 3rd: Steven Hartley ITS Installer 2 1st: Andrew Davis 2nd: John Barczak 3rd: Jeffrey Johnson ITS Technician 1st: Jessie Spearman 2nd: Timothy Roberts 3rd: Stephen Stamp The overall winner with the highest score of the competition was named BICSI Installer of the Year. Spearman walked away with top honours and $5000. Other awards included a UniCam toolkit and a deluxe fiber toolkit donated by Corning, a Testifier Pro and Optical Probe from JDSU, a Rhino 6000 hard case kit from DYMO, a two-year BICSI membership and various other gift cards, tools and packages from Unique Firestop, Siemon, STI, Sumitomo, Mohawk, Abesco, Kitco, Klein and Randl. In total, the grand prize was worth over $15,000. First place winners in the other categories won prizes totaling over $2000. CLICK HERE for BICSI. |
