The trade industry is getting a lot of buzz among GenZ. And with good reason! Check out this article I wrote on the electrical apprenticeship program at Salt Lake City International Airport. https://lnkd.in/gyUTSNNj

This is certainly reflective of the North East market for sure. A lack of qualified electrical/multi skilled apprentice trained candidates are coming through twinned with misaligned salaries and expectations. Finding the right people is increasingly becoming more and more challenging and the demand for talent, even more competitive. If you aren't or can't present a 'competitive' offering to attract candidates, you will likely be missing out on the best people. For support on finding and attracting the best people to your business, why not reach out for a conversation. It's not always about salary, its often about presenting an opportunity that candidates are attracted to.

There’s a national shortage of qualified electricians. 📉 People across England want to become electricians and enroll on classroom-only courses, but they aren’t progressing into apprenticeships. #ElectricalSkillsIndex by ECA - Excellence in Electrotechnical and Engineering Services analyses how many people in England are starting electrical classroom-only courses compared to apprenticeships. A shocking number of areas in England are facing a shortage of electrical skills. 🔗 Find out how your constituency is performing in the Electrical Skills Index: https://lnkd.in/eNkWtCEg #EAL #ElectricalSkills #Electricians #Electrician #Engineering #UKMFG #UKEngineering #EngineeringUK

The question: How can we help prepare our current apprentices to become effective mentors and future leaders? ❓ The solution: Provide apprentices the opportunity to work with high school pre-apprentices; preparing our current and future apprentices simultaneously! 👍 And, when should we do this? National Apprenticeship Week of Course! Today, the 3rd-year Des Moines and Cedar Rapids Telecommunication Apprentices spent time with electrical pre-apprentices from Central Campus. The 3rd-year apprentices did an outstanding job teaching, training, and sharing experiences with the pre-apprentices. They took the time to demonstrate how to accomplish each task, provided guidance, answered questions, and showed great patience; allowing each pre-apprentice the time they needed to complete the task. After the lab was completed, the pre-apprentices evaluated their mentor. They received nothing but positive feedback from the students! 5/5 Would Recommend! 💯 And the pre-apprentices? They were engaged and excited about the opportunity to learn something new, but even more excited to hear about the electrical industry from the apprentices they were working alongside. Thank you to our current apprentices and the Central Campus pre-apprentices who participated! It was a great success and something we look forward to continuing in the future! #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #nationalapprenticeweek #apprenticeship #futureelectrician #ibew347 #necaofiowa #etATraining

I had the incredible privilege of leading a panel discussion with some of SMUD's amazing apprentices for Learn@SMUD! Each panelist that participated in the session is currently in or has completed one of SMUD's many apprenticeship programs. Their stories were truly inspirational, offering valuable insights for anyone considering a career in the skilled trades. Here's some highlights: Diverse Paths, Shared Passion: The apprentices came from varying backgrounds, with some transitioning from other careers and others fresh out of high school. Despite their differences, they were all united by their passion for working in the field, critical thinking/problem solving, and building a rewarding career. Benefits Beyond Compare: Apprenticeship programs offer a fantastic blend of on-the-job training and classroom learning. Our panelists spoke highly of the mentorship they received, the practical skills they developed, and the importance of taking initiative and maintaining a positive attitude. Plus, upon completion, they transition into journey level positions at SMUD with strong benefits and growth opportunities. 15 Unique Programs: Did you know SMUD offers 15 different apprenticeship programs across various trades, from Cable Splicing and Lineman to Substation Electrician and Meter Technician? I left the discussion feeling incredibly proud of the talent and dedication of SMUD's apprentices. Their stories are a testament to the power of skilled trades careers and the incredible opportunities available through apprenticeship programs.
