Job Talks - Electrician - Tom Explains the 3 Types of Electrician Licenses

Tom had 5 applications out within the Skilled Trades and the electricians called first so that’s the trade he went with! The thing he loves the most is the diversity of his job; there are so many different things you can do as an electrician. One of the best parts is “earning while you’re learning” with apprenticeships. Watch his job talk to hear about the 3 types of licenses an Electrician can obtain.

Got into the IBEW at 19 years old. Did 5 years apprenticeship, journeyman at 24. Been in the trade now for 25 years. Great career choice!

Well, I’m electrician by trade I believe It was one of the best decision that I’ve made in my life, I see the world in a different way, you know… I have learned through this process, I am more conscious of live, more focused and very concert of safety.
Being electrician have made me achieve a lot of objectives. I am about to finish my degree as a chemical engineering, by the way I am 40.

Great video! I’m thinking of getting an electrician license with my Building Automation diploma. There is so much opportunity out there!

[JerettFranklin]

And trades are not going to be automated anytime soon. It's real work

[nickyoung]

I’m definitely interested in learning this as a trade!

You can work for a contractor as a service electrician and work at many different industrial and commercial job sites, changing job sites many times within one day.

[klarnorbert]

If you don't like physical work but you've got the brains, go industrial.

[JS-xrri]

How do I know if electrician is the right job for me?

[aammiranda]

Could you answer two relatively simple questions? At the service panel, is neutral and ground bonded and in a sub panel not bonded?

[angelesfilms]

So how do I just get a job when they want experience??? Any help. I’m currently in school

[vanuscoslearning]

How can I get the license after a four year electrical and electronics engineering degree?
I also want to ask if the license is necessary after having an engineering degree?

[hamzagarmaje]

I work in the electric field and at the same time I make pretty things, and I want you to help me find a job.

Trades, military.... Jobs for people who want to be efficient and are career oriented. My mum cannot support three boys for university so I think to take electrician license and provide my family better future. Personally I ll want from my children to study in university.
