Hi there, thanks for reading today. Hopefully for young people and school leavers who're looking to find out a bit about a career and apprenticeships in electrotechnical services, this short article will provide some decent insight. Here we'll look at what the apprenticeship scheme is, how you can get onto it and find the right placement for you and also look at life as an electrician and prospects going forward. First and foremost though do take a little time to consider carefully your future. Make sure before embarking on an electrical apprenticeship that this is something you really want to do - being an electrician takes time, effort and a significant investment of time and money to succeed.
The good news for those wondering where to start their career as budding electricians is that here in the UK we have a fantastic apprenticeship scheme. This process is fully endorsed and funded by the government as a means of getting young people and school leavers trained up with valuable skills and then into the workforce as soon as possible. The great thing about this is that once accepted as an apprentice, you'll benefit from a working wage, work experience with an industry-specific firm and also tutoring and structured vocational study at a college when you're not at work. The scheme is a superb and cost effective way to get ready for a life in the trade.
Getting started with the apprenticeship scheme is pretty easy through the official apprenticeship UK website. Here you enter a few personal details including your locations and what types of placement you'd be interested in, in this case something to do with electrician work or electrotechnical services. Once registered you are free to go through the database to check out openings as they are updated and you can also arrange job alerts to be sent to your email. Application for apprenticeships is done in a similar manner to that of a normal job and involves you filling in a form specifying your school grades, relevant skills and experience and thoughts on why you would be a good fit for the position.
So there's a little something on the process itself, but beyond that, you'll be asking what is life like for an electrician? Many people think of electricians as blokes in vans calling at people's houses or spending the day lifting up the floorboards running wires between sockets. This is certainly a part of a domestic electrical installer's duties but there's also a whole lot more to consider in the realm of electrical careers. If you want to go down the route of working in a small company visiting usually private dwellings of course you can, but also there are a great many commercial electrical jobs around. These positions will see you working in large companies on big scale, often exciting projects. Team work will be involved and you might have the chance to rise towards managerial positions.
Opportunities for those with electrical training and experience abound. You need not necessarily end up as a domestic installer in a small company as we've already mentioned. For some people this is very suited to them, especially if they like the thought of one day running their own company and staying close to home and family. Other graduate apprentices might want to look further to opportunities with large firms and corporations, perhaps working on large exciting projects overseas. In the fast industrialising world there are countries such as India, Russia, Brazil and China where infrastructure is growing rapidly and skilled ex-pats can make a good livingdo you fancy it? Whichever route you choose in the end we wish you good luck.
If you'd like to find out more we have more resources available on electrical work in a recession and electrical training and opportunities. Thank you for your time today.
