As a 4th Electrical apprentice I 100% understand and respect his views. Most companies don’t have time to do any real training. It’s very sad because that’s why most young folks leave the trade. Electrical trade has a huge PR problem and it’s going to take many folks to get on board with the future of our trade.
Thank you for these great podcast episodes. I have one criticism if you don't mind. I understand that your objective as the host is to guide the discussion, but it becomes an issue when you talk a significant portion of the time. The guest is here to share their experiences and knowledge, and it's difficult when they are not given much time to talk. By no means am I saying that your input is not valuable, no, your comments are highly informative and insightful. The guest should be allowed to speak more is my feedback. Appreciate you for bringing us viewers this awesome show! Excited for future episodes!

As someone already paying bills and providing for family, the 4-6 yr requirement before getting licensed is the biggest obstacle to getting started. I’m ambitious and have that attitude of wanting to be the best y’all talked about. Any advice on making ends meet during the apprenticeship?
I don't understand why he is pushing for early exams. What's the benefit? More pay? Just pay them for the value of their work. Knowing how to get the work done is an apprentice skill. Knowing why the work is done they way it is and the repercussions of it not being done right is a Journeyman skill. This is only accomplished over time. No one is an expert in less than 10 years.

My old company head hunted guys with the promise of training and then stuck them pulling wire for almost 2 years.
Needless to say they all left lol
I’ve been a welder for 10 years and I’m just burnt out of it. I’ve done plumbing on my house, fixed cars and I freaking love it.
