We flick-on the lights, turn-on a television set; switch on the computer, hardly ever
giving a thought to the miracle of electricity. And yet, electricity is the one thing
that has made our lives utterly comfortable. It warms us, cools us, helps us eat and
entertain ourselves. And who are the people responsible for this? Electricians.
Electricians install, test, repair and maintain electrical systems. Knowledge of electricity,
understanding blueprints and other technical documents, manual dexterity, color vision,
good sense of smell, physical stamina are all required for this career. Electricians
are the people who wire homes, offices, and factories for electricity. They route
and connect electrical wires, install light fixtures and other electrical devices,
and install and maintain all the electronic controls used for machines at both home
and work. Some focus mainly on maintaining existing electrical systems. Others focus
mainly on wiring new construction.
