Electrician
Electricians give us safe access to power, whether it comes from solar panels on our roofs or overhead power lines. They work with a number of tradespeople to complete construction projects from housing to commercial skyscrapers. From installing a simple outlet socket to wiring complex power grids, electricians need to have the skills, including the manual dexterity, safety knowledge, and ability to analyze technical drawings and problem solve, for jobs at any scale.
Electrician courses and electrician apprenticeships are required for people to become certified in Canada. Typically lasting between four and five years, aspiring electricians will need to complete technical on-the-job training and exams, after which they are awarded a journeyperson certificate. Apprentices assist certified electricians with daily projects such as installing and testing wiring systems. Electrician courses and electrician apprenticeships give professionals the theoretical knowledge and hard skills they need to succeed on jobsites.
The average industrial electrician makes $79,910 in the year they become certified, according to Statistics Canada. Four years prior to becoming certified, while undertaking electrician courses and electrician apprenticeships, they make an average of $54,770. Experienced electricians can earn as much as $89,580 two years after being certified.
