If you have been in the military coming out of the forces and finding civilian work can be difficult. The biggest problem is finding a job that is challenging enough. Everyone thinks that ex military personnel will naturally be happy working in a field such as private security. For some people working in that industry is a good fit, but for forces personnel with a technical background it is not always desirable.
Military engineers, IT specialists and building specialists have all worked hard for years to learn their skills and want to continue to use them. The team at tradeskills4u are aware of this. They have sat down and worked out as short a path as possible into civilian work for ex-military electricians.
Qualify as a Domestic Installer with Tradeskills4u
Qualifying as a domestic installer is not difficult, especially for someone with a background of working with electrics. In most cases, the work is far simpler than the work electricians are expected to carry out for the military. However, to be able to work legally and get work easily you need several qualifications all of which you can get from Tradeskills 4U.
