Know Someone Looking for a Rewarding and Lucrative Career? Share This Stat with Them


 

If you're reading this, you likely already know that training to be an electrician or low voltage technician is a path to a lucrative career, and that the need for these skilled professionals is just going to continue to grow. But if you know someone else who is looking for a career in a thriving industry, that would like to help build and maintain the United States' infrastructure, share this with them--it may just be the final push they need to get started on their electrical industry journey!

In the next decade, the employment of electricians will grow over twice as fast as all other occupations in the United States due to increasing demand for construction, the modernization or replacement of aging infrastructure, and electricians aging out of the workforce.

With WECA, there are multiple ways to pursue the electrician or low voltage technician career path. If you become an apprentice, your education will be paid for by your employing contractor. If you choose the independent electrician trainee path, your tuition will be affordable--comparable to community college tuition.
