Electrician courses and the rise in female tradespeople!
According to statistics, there are more than twice as female tradespeople including electricians, plumbers and construction workers in the UK than ten years ago. You would assume that this would happen over such a long period of time, however, now that we have been hit with such strange times and rapid unemployment there will be a surge in people looking for new opportunities and training towards a new career. We hope that more women consider a career as an electrician. Here at Able Skills we have been providing electrician courses for many years and can help you from start to finish!
City & Guilds Electrician Training at Able Skills.
There are an estimated 8,000 women working as electricians, accounting for just three per cent of all tradespeople. There is absolutely no reason that women cannot become electricians, there should be no stigma anymore for anyone approaching training in this day and age. The average wages for a working electrician, according to the Office of National Statistics (ONS) is £33,176. Most established electricians tend to work for themselves and are self-employed, so take this average with a pinch of salt as the amount you earn will highly depend on the individual; how much work you do, the hours, the type of work, the size of your business and so on. There are no limits to the opportunities available to professional electricians.
