From The Berkshire Eagle (3/30/03) — here are some of ‘em, but the whole thing is worth your time:
An electrician should be able to “pay attention to details, listen, and have mechanical aptitude,” says LePrevost. “And there is definitely math involved.”
Now young people seem less mechanically ready, Blume and LePrevost agree. When the local high schools had more vocational programs, and Lee had its house-building program, students would start their electrician training with the ability to handle tools.
“There is a huge void in the workplace, says LePrevost. Every year more and more students graduate without these skills, including how to use a ladder, or simply how to be safe.
The occupation got a boost when the state required that photovoltaic installations require a licensed electrician. That state rule has been challenged in the courts, says IBEW Training Director Mark Kuenzel, but he feels it will stand.
The union electricians do not have much residential work, explains Kuenzel, and both LePrevost and Blume say there isn’t much union presence in the Berkshires.
