ELECTRICIAN If you have been fascinated by electricity, then you might want to look at a career as an electrician. Electricians enjoy one of the higher paid specialty-industry fields with a solid future as America becomes more dependent on consistent and well-maintained supplies of electricity. There are two general types of electrical work: Construction work, which includes reading blueprints, wiring, installing, and testing electrical systems; and Maintenance work, which involves troubleshooting, testing, fixing and upgrading already installed, improperly functioning, electrical systems. Some electricians become electrical inspectors, enter teaching programs, or work as construction consultants. A few enter training programs to 0 LSCS Catalog 0/0

become contractors. Electricians are also finding that their profession is becoming linked with those who do computer and telecommunications wiring. Over 5 percent of electricians take additional classes on telecommunications systems, wiring, and electrical interfaces. At LSC-Tomball, specialized electrician courses are offered that emphasize application more than theoretical development. The courses complement on-the-job training and mirror real world situations by providing classroom studies with hands-on applications in high-tech laboratories.
