INTRO TO SKILLED TRADES & HOUSEHOLD REPAIRS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND RECENT GRADUATES

For some people, the choice of what career path to take is simple and straightforward. They knew what they wanted to be from the time they could understand what a career actually was. For millions of others, the choice is not so easy. We look around, investigate, try out whatever works to land a job and begin things for what seems like forever without every really finding something that clicks.
In many cases, this problem stems from a lack of understanding or knowledge about what career paths are really out there. For students where college does not appeal to, this can be a stumbling block. They are put at a disadvantage by never being made aware of the other options that are out there.
It is time to remind the youth of America that there is more than one way to make a living and that it is just as fruitful, respectable, and profitable as the college route. Deciding to take a career path into the skilled trades and becoming an electrician, plumber,HVAC Technician, carpenter, roofer, welder and Appliance Repair Technician is a viable option for the emerging generation of workers.

GROWING OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRADESMEN

Solids State Controls Training encourages all young people out there who have never considered work in the skilled trades as a viable career to rethink their position and look into it for yourself. One thing is for sure, a career path is better than wandering aimlessly. You may be making okay money now and think that you don’t need a “real career,” but think again. At most unskilled jobs an individual will run out of growth opportunities and their salary will plateau. As a tradesman, one will have a marketable skill that can get them working with hundreds of private companies, unions, or even as their own boss running a contracting business.
