A Guide to Becoming an Electrician

What's the current state of TVET in Vietnam? 🛠️ I'm interested in learning more about the education of "everyday trades," like auto technicians, builders, electricians, and plumbers. 👨🔧These guys and gals don't always build shiny new things but they're a vital link in maintaining, repairing, and literally greasing the wheels of society's infrastructure. 👩🔧 While absolutely crucial to sustainable development, they are all too often overlooked. As far as I know, it's only on the job training for most trades in Vietnam. 🔧 The recent booms in automotive, real estate, and industrial development equate to a coming era of repair and maintenance. The workforce needs to be prepared for this. ↠ Does anyone have any deeper insight on this topic? ↠ Are there any providers working towards quality in-depth training and certification for these types of trades? Thanks in advance. (Image credit: tvet-vietnam.org /GIZ) #sustainablevietnam #vocationaleducation #vietnameducation

The skilled trades, often associated with necessity, are evolving into a realm of choice, innovation, and opportunity rather than just a need-based pursuit. For years, industries like HVAC, plumbing, electrical work, and automotive technology were viewed as fallback options—fields entered out of necessity rather than aspiration. However, this perception is rapidly shifting as the skilled trades redefine themselves as dynamic, rewarding, and entrepreneurial career paths. A Field of Innovation and Advancement Advancements in technology have transformed the skilled trades. Today's professionals are not just fixing leaky pipes or repairing machines; they are leveraging cutting-edge tools, embracing automation, and integrating smart technologies. Electricians are wiring homes for solar energy and advanced security systems. Auto technicians are diagnosing and repairing complex electric vehicles. These fields demand continuous learning and adaptation, attracting individuals passionate about innovation. A Choice for Financial Independence Skilled trades offer financial independence and stability, often without the burden of college debt. With apprenticeships and certification programs providing practical, affordable pathways into high-paying careers, these fields appeal to individuals who seek control over their professional and financial lives. Many skilled tradespeople also choose entrepreneurship, building successful businesses that align with their vision and values. A Space for Creativity and Problem-Solving Skilled trades require creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving—skills that appeal to individuals who thrive on challenges and innovation. From custom carpentry to intricate HVAC system designs, tradespeople often craft unique solutions, leaving a tangible mark on their projects. This sense of accomplishment turns the trades into a choice of passion rather than necessity. A Community and Lifestyle Choice The trades are increasingly seen as lifestyle choices, offering flexibility, community engagement, and meaningful work. Many professionals enter the field because they want a hands-on career that directly impacts people's lives. Others are drawn to the camaraderie and collaboration inherent in the trades, creating a fulfilling professional environment. Breaking Stereotypes Organizations and events like the ServiceTitan Elite Trades Championship Series are challenging outdated stereotypes by showcasing the professionalism, skill, and prestige of the trades. These efforts highlight that skilled trades are not fallback options but chosen pathways for those who value innovation, creativity, and a sense of purpose. The skilled trades are no longer defined by necessity. They are fields of opportunity and empowerment, driven by choice, innovation, and passion. By recognizing and embracing this shift, the industry continues to attract a new generation of talented professionals eager to make their mark.
