Real Student Stories

...the customer support is amazing, the school itself was nice and easy to understand and navigate, and lastly the learning experience!"
- Brayden M.

Electrical Technicians are Integral to Home Services!

We all take for granted the fact that when we flip a light switch in our home, a light will come on. Or when we press the button on our remote, the television will come to life. But none of these modern conveniences would be possible without the skills and knowledge of a trained electrical tradesman.

When you become a certified electrical technician, you become an incredibly valued member of the home services and construction industry.

Electrical technicians install and maintain electrical systems in private homes and businesses. Some of the components they often replace are wiring, switches and fuses, and they may also be called out to install new outlets or entire panels.

This is a very rewarding career because you spend your days meeting new people and helping to solve their problems.

Why We Love Skilled Trades

A career in the skilled trades industry means working in large portions of our economy's infrastructure. And since our entire world increasingly runs on electricity, your skills could likely be in demand today...and tomorrow as well.

Your work is also never boring, and no two days are ever the same. So, if you’re one of those people that hates the idea of sitting in a cubicle all day, staring at a computer screen, then a career as an electrical technician may be ideal for you.

And finally, the BLS reports there is demand growth projected over the coming years for these professionals. This will be in large part due to new infrastructure projects that will happen around the country. Electrical technicians will be needed to install wind turbines and solar panels, as well as to connect these alternative energy generators to homes and power grids.

In addition, a large group of older electricians will be retiring soon, and new skilled tradesmen will need to take their place.

How fast is the field growing?

According to the BLS (https://www.bls.gov/), employment of electricians is projected to grow 8% from 2019 to 2029, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. Those technicians who have been properly certified could gain employment and then work towards becoming an Electrician in their home state.

“Our economy is becoming more electrified with solar, smart construction, and green tech…Electrical Technicians will play a vital role!”

- Grant Aldrich, Founder & CEO Preppy
