Would you like to be an apprentice electrician

When my father was young , getting an apprenticeship was very easy . The day you left school you could simply walk down the street , go into any tradesmen's shop and get a job . Nowadays things are very different , competition is fierce and positions are scarce . As electricians , our company gets many applications from hopeful candidates , but some don't give themselves the best chance of succeeding . I'm always happy to guide people in the right direction , but we can only take on a limited number of apprentices every year . Here are a few tips for anyone who's serious about getting a 3 year apprenticeship as an electrician in Scotland . Contact SECTT : the Scottish Electrical Charitable Training Trust are responsible for the training of apprentices within the SJIB training scheme . They also offer helpful advice and information on the best way to get an electrical apprenticeship . Sit the SECTT test : You will need to prepare for the test , especially when you are not allowed a calculator , see the link for example . Practice long division and multiplication , I love the Nintendo DS Brain Training as a fun way to do this . You have limited time for the number of questions , the faster your times table , the quicker you will the answer the questions . Get a CV together :You will need to write a CV to provide to your potential employer . There are many online help guides which give helpful information on content and structure . It should contain your basic information , qualifications , experience , achievements and references . Get some experience:Try and find an employer who will give you work experience . If you are unemployed then the local job centre and various charities can offer help with this , If you have not left yet you can contact an electrician directly and seek permission from the school . Find an employer:You will need to find electrical contractors in your area . You can find contact details using a directory like Yell , I would also advise finding a company who are regulated with the NICEIC or SELECT . You will need to phone companies and ask if they will be considering taking on apprentices and send a CV to every one that is . It's always a good idea to phone after a few weeks to see if they have received and try and get some feedback . Get further education If you think you may struggle to get an apprenticeship this year then contact your local college for available courses . Due to the reduction in apprenticeship opportunities many structured courses will provide an excellent starting point for a career as an electrician .

A ST ANDREWS business has been praised for bucking the trend and taking on a young, inexperienced member of staff at a time when many other companies are shedding jobs. And last week 16-year-old Stefan Fraser started training for the job he has always wanted when he became an apprentice electrician following a six month work placement.Stefan left school last December and was becoming disillusioned in his attempts to find work with some companies not even responding to his applications.He was advised by a friend to contact Rathbone, an organisation who work with young people to help them with their education or find training and employment opportunities.They were able to get him the break he was looking for and give him the chance to show an employer what he can do.Stefan was taken on by St Andrews based electrical contractors RB Grant who offered him a six month work placement."After leaving school l started looking for work straight away," Stefan said. "By March I still hadn't found anything and my mate kept telling me about Rathbone and how they can help out so I went along to see them.""I was getting pretty fed up at that point as I had nothing to do really. I told them how much I wanted to be an electrician and they began looking for placements for me."Rathbone contacted RB Grant in St Andrews who already had Stefan's uncle working with them. They were interested in taking him on but didn't want him to feel it was just as a favour to his uncle.Ronnie Grant of RB Grant said: "We discussed it with him, gave him an interview and it went from there. ''We placed him with his uncle to start with and he went round some of our different projects to find out what the job is all about."He done really well and impressed us with his attitude so we got him back in for another interview and decided to offer him the apprenticeship."Maria Collie of Rathbone is delighted at the progress Stefan has made. She said: "He is a really nice young man, but he had done nothing since he left school and was fast becoming fed up.''He learned some useful skills on the Get Ready for Work programme at Rathbone but it was a spell at RB Grant that really built-up his confidence and helped him achieve."Anyone interested in learning more about Rathbone can contact their Fife office on 01592 623950.
