# Supporting Youth in the Electrical Trade
I am sharing Jessica Barnard CertRP's post to highlight the challenges young people face when entering our industry. As a small electrical enterprise, at Ramstead Electricians we strive not only to deliver exceptional service to our clients but also to provide professional development opportunities for aspiring electricians in our community.
We have recently been able to offer a young man Harry Greaves several days of training this week and may extend additional opportunities to him in the coming weeks, our capacity is limited due to funding constraints, increased national insurance costs, and our current operational scale. Nevertheless, we remain committed to assisting him in securing a more permanent position with another organization.
We have been particularly impressed with Harry's professional attitude, enthusiasm, work ethic, and evident desire to learn. As Jessica notes in her post, due to his chosen educational pathway, he no longer meets the standard apprenticeship criteria. This means potential employers need to consider that government funding will not be available to support his training needs. Harry , possesses the technical knowledge, he just needs opportunities to extend his practical skill level by implementing what he has already learned at college.
If you share our commitment to advancing Harry's professional development—including obtaining his 18th Edition qualification, completing his AM2 assessment, and passing his 2391 Testing examinations—please consider offering him work experience within your organization. Alternatively, sharing Jessica's post could connect Harry with employers seeking an exceptional trainee candidate who could become a valuable team member.
Our young professionals face significant challenges in today's market. Let us collaborate to help them achieve their career aspirations.
