Career Changes

The current economic climate has left millions facing doubt and uncertainty. For many, guaranteed regular income has become a thing of the past, replaced by constant financial worry as well as the feeling of helplessness that accompanies a job loss. And it can seem that however hard you try, you just can't get past the interview stage - if you're lucky enough to be invited to interview at all.

But recent studies have indicated that, whilst some sectors such as PR, Marketing and Retail have seen a decline in job numbers, others have actually seen a rise. One of those areas is the electrical industry, an area which has had a skills shortage for a number of years, long before the credit crunch. So could changing career to become an electrician provide you with much-needed financial stability?

You may worry that electrical training or a career change could be a risk not worth taking. But if you consider the fact that electricians are in short supply nationwide, a career change into the electrical trade would seem tempting.

The Skills Gap

Aside from being in short supply, there simply aren't enough people undergoing electrical training in order to replace those retiring from industry. The gap between electrician vacancies and workers is actually growing, making electrician training a smart route to follow. The potential to develop a steady financial income with a loyal customer base is good business in any industry, and this is exactly what you can get following electrician training.

Being able to provide an electrician service is an excellent way to ensure you have a steady stream of work, and income. At any given time, someone will require electrical work to be carried out, be it an individual carrying out some DIY or a construction company offering a large contract to work on a number of developments.

Electrician training and City and Guilds qualifications will increase your chances of finding work, especially if you combine it with any existing skills you have, such as other trades or a business brain to set up your own business, meaning you can use your electrician training without waiting to be interviewed.

If you were to complete just four City and Guilds qualifications; City & Guilds 2330 Level 2 and 3 (which would allow you to practice whilst continuing your electrical training) followed by City & Guilds 2382 17th Edition and City & Guilds 2391, you would then be a fully-qualified, accredited electrician.

In addition to these electrical courses, PASS Training and Development can also offer the following brand new courses:


Electrical Training For the Trades

Electrician training is now becoming a fundamental aspect of other trades: current regulations state that anyone wishing to certify their own domestic electrical work must be qualified in EAL Part P. So, for example, if you're a plumber and wish to carry out even small electrical projects as part of your work, you must have received electrical training in this area. Luckily, PASS Training and Development can offer you Part P training, and even City and Guilds plumbing courses in addition to electrical training.

Aside from delivering City and Guilds electrical courses to those looking for a career change or developing new skills through electrician training, PASS Training and Development can deliver training on behalf of businesses looking to develop their employees' electrical training. If your company requires electrical knowledge, this is an excellent way keeping employee numbers down whilst creating multi-skilled employees: a valuable commodity in today's job market.

So if you are interested in a career change into the electrical industry, where the gulf between jobs and workers is conducive to an easier passage into the labour market, a PASS electrical training course is the best way to start.

Alternatively, if you would like to build on your electrical training to increase the demand for your electrical services, or even if you would like to boost staff morale as a business owner by offering your employees electrician training courses to avoid excessive recruitment, PASS Training and Development can guide you through all of the relevant electrician training courses you need to get where you're going.
