Best way to learn the job
I’m currently an electrician in the Air Force. My job is a mix of interior and exterior work. I really enjoy the exterior side of the job, especially working on transformers and doing basic cable pulls. The downside is that I don’t get many opportunities to become an SME on more complex situations because most of the bases I’ve been stationed at use underground distribution.
I’m planning to separate in a year and pursue linework. Before I join a union apprenticeship, I’d like to build a stronger foundation so I’m not coming in with the same level of knowledge I have now.
Does anyone have recommendations for books, YouTube channels, online courses, or other resources that helped you learn the trade? I’m open to anything and would appreciate any advice.
