With a long, diverse list of potential sectors and specialisms, the construction industry offers a highly appealing employment route for those looking to build a new career after leaving the services.
From high demand for skilled workers to good progression opportunities, the construction industry possesses a number of unique benefits for anyone looking into the prospect of ELCAS training.
Electrical is just one of the many routes that ELCAS training is applicable for, a career path that presents plentiful opportunities for employment.
Why choose electrical as a career?
Electrical is frequently one of the most in-demand trade sectors across the entire construction industry, and the need for the skill sets of electricians is highly unlikely to fade anytime fast.
Combining this with the growing role of electricity as a greener alternative to fossil fuels, it could be argued that electrical is one of the most future-proof careers to move into.
What sort of person would enjoy a career as an electrician?
The career of an electrician is ideal for those who enjoy a good amount of variety in their day-to-day work, for anyone who enjoys problem-solving and definitely for those who prefer a hands-on profession.
Face-to-face interactions are also often a big part of the job, so good social skills can be a major bonus when it comes to building relationships with customers.
Who is ELCAS electrical training suitable for?
ELCAS funding can be used to complete electrical training at Level 3 and above, making it ideal for service leavers who have had previous training in the industry and who are looking to further their learning and qualifications to a Level 3 standard.
For those who don’t have any prior electrician experience, investing in entry-level training to get yourself up to Level 2 is also an option. Once this initial training is complete, ELCAS funding can then be used to complete your Level 3 training, which will unlock the possibility of obtaining your JIB Gold Card.
