Hardware Library: Resources and Information for Electricians
An electrician is best defined as a tradesman who works in the field of electrically wiring buildings, stationary machines and other related equipment. Electricians might find work in electrical-component installation, or they might find work in the maintenance of electrical structures that are already in existence. Educational requirements for an electrician are quite relaxed; most begin their careers by simply becoming an apprentice to a licensed electrician. Another way to start your career as an electrician is by approaching electricians’ unions and getting an apprenticeship through them.
