The future of Tradesman

Hello Fellow Tradesman it has been a while since we have posted on here on our blog. Not that we haven't been busy but there has been a lot going on. Virginia is now on the 2011 National electrical code for those that are wondering. We have also been working on new code update courses and have expanded into Texas and Oklahoma. Our main focus this year has been on learning to start an organization. I have been talking to a lot of tradesman and the one thing that seems to be lacking is a platform for training. With this in mind I am hoping to create an organization for tradesman that is geared toward helping recruit as well as grow tradesman for increasing their skills. Almost everyone wants to make more money in the field but very few really know how. What are you doing to increase your skill set? There are many resources out there that can help you succeed. A good source of electrical information is www.mikeholt.com he has a wealth of information for electricians from tradesman to estimating and even teaching. Only you can be in charge of how well you do in the trade. There are still many opportunities to make a very good living. No you may not become a millionaire but you may if you start your own business. When you work for a contractor remember profit margins are very tight in today's world. The more valuable you make yourself the more likely you will make a better wage. So I have provided a lot of things to think about in a short time. So do your research, grow yourself and let me know how we can grow together. Until next time
