I appreciate you must get lots of these messages a week on here but I'm thinking of retraining and becoming an electrician.
I'm 22 and working in an office. My old job was part-time and I'd get work with mates labouring and painting so I've had experience in trades but my current full time role has now become unstable and I am now looking at my work experience and CV and not seeing a lot so I want to move into a trade.
I have started looking at becoming an electrician and looking into the basics of electrical installation and sourcing out colleges that offer Level 2 City & Guilds courses a couple of nights a week (with the opportunity to progress onto Level 3 & then other required courses). I'm hoping that because I'm still relatively young that it counts on my side because I am still young and can still learn and take everything on board.
I just want some reassurance that I am doing the right thing or any feedback that more experienced electricians can offer really. What are my chances of work when I complete these qualifications?
