Electrical maintenance? We could start someone today and the rest depends on learning ability. You don't need a license to work in-house. In any case, it's rare to work alone, there's always someone older than you in the shop, at least until you become the aged master.
Controls/Automation engineer? I apprenticed for 4 years and still learn something every day.
- YeBanKo 4y agoNot sure what state you are in, but in California community colleges are fairly good. They can provide trade education together with apprenticeship programs. This system can close the gap for many tradesman jobs. It is not gonna happen in a year, but over next 10 years. In 2012 Jobs told Obama that those jobs aren’t coming back, around the time Tesla was able to pull off Models S. Iirc 52% of it was US made, which seems impressive. It’s been almost two years since the dependency on import from very few country for critical things was widely exposed due to pandemic. This would be enough time to train someone junior or have them be half way through their apprenticeship. Now we want to move to alternative energy source, which most likely means that solar and lithium batteries alone aren’t gonna suffice. At the same time, EU is learning the hard way why it’s not ideal for the energy sector to rely to heavily on a foreign irrational actor. I think there is enough momentum to push the needle and see results in 5-10 years.
