Electrician Career

If you like physical work and using your hands, as well as feeling a sense of completion when you've finished a task, you may enjoy an electrician career.

What Kind of Work Might I Do with an Electrician Career?

Electricians can be found working anywhere in our society--we can't function without them. With an electrician career, you may choose to work in:
  • Construction, including new home building, renovations
  • Maintenance and repairs such as wiring or machinery
You may even choose the type of environment you work in. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 9 percent of electricians were self-employed, while the majority--65 percent--were employed by electrical companies. The rest were employed doing electrical work in other kinds of companies.

As a more experienced electrician, you may start your own business, hiring other electricians or teach others who want an electrician career the ins and outs of the industry.

What Kind of Training Can Help Prepare Me for Success in an Electrician Career?

To prepare for electrician training, you should have a high school diploma or equivalent and should brush up on your math. Math is an important part of being an electrician.

As a trade, training for an electrician career involves both classroom teaching and on-the-job training, called apprenticeship. Some courses require classroom work beforehand, where you will learn tasks such as:
  • Reading blueprints
  • Electrical code requirements
  • Job safety
Depending on the type of electrician training you are taking, you may also be learning more specialized issues, such as fire alarm systems, and elevators.

Having a career as an electrician means continuing education throughout your career. Electricians must know the up-to-date issues in their field and must always be aware of constantly changing codes.
