Career Outlook and Opportunities

The electrical industry is going to experience a continual shortage of qualified workers as technology advances faster than workers can be trained. And with veteran workers nearing retirement, prospects of entering the field looks good.

When it comes to employment with one of the local utilities, they are responsible for the process of doing the hiring. However, once an employee is hired by a utility, then the apprenticeship program begins its work.

Trained apprentices are skilled in many areas and once in the program, you become a very valuable asset to the utility.
