Survey Says: Who Industrial Electricians Work For

Tom decides to add chickens and egg production to his cattle farming operation. He adds a chicken coup to the barn where he houses his cattle. The coup is suitably cut off from the barn and will contain an electric heater, luminaires and switches.
Among the six job types surveyed, millwright slightly outpaces journeyman electrician as the highest paid position. The gap between highest and lowest is just over $20,000.
The federal government launched their SME (small and medium enterprises) apprenticeship funding program back in September of 2022, the program will run until March 31st, 2024.
So, Who are You Supporting? Feedback from Electricity Human Resource Canada (EHRC) research into the lack of diversity in the electricity industry has shed interesting light on the challenges and successes associated with the attraction, recruitment and retention of women in the sector. With the expected exodus of much of the workforce to retirement, and less than 5% of women working in the trades (and only 25% industry wide), engaging this under-represented group is a priority.
Cumulative global revenue for the global electric vehicle battery pack market in the years 2017-2021 is expected to reach US$417.6 billion, according to a report published by MarketResearch.biz.
Blueprints and Commercial, Systems Troubleshooting are the two most sought after of five skills, among those surveyed.
