Electrical Technician
Two Year Program

If there's wiring, fuses, and other electrical components in a facility, chances are it was installed by an electrician. For an electrician, a day-in-the-life can consist of reading blueprints and technical diagrams for the locations of outlets, load centers, panel boards and other electrical related components, connecting all types of wires and circuit breakers, outlets, and a host of other components. Their work includes making regular assessments of electrical equipment and electrical systems. A lot of work involves adding and replacing wires, fuses, circuit breakers, connections, and much more. And, the work is accomplished under a variety of conditions. At all times on the job, electricians are required to adhere to safety rules and guidelines. Those with a careful eye for detail, good working habits, and great work judgment might consider becoming electricians.
