Trade Careers

By Robin A Wright

Individuals who work in the trade sector are skilled people who possess a specialized set of abilities. These may range from plumbing to construction to aircraft knowledge. In order to gain access to these abilities, the majority of these individuals attend a trade school, participate in an apprenticeship, and earn additional certifications to enhance and diversify their expertise. Below are a few of the most common and well-paid blue-collar positions.

Plumber Most individuals who are interested in this line of work opt for an apprenticeship program.

Through these programs, students will be able to gain experience by working alongside a practicing professional for a certain amount of time, usually between four to five years.

However, technical schools and community colleges also offer programs and courses to teach skills such as taking apart a kitchen sink or fixing an appliance.

Electrician Training for this career is similar to that of the plumber. Vocational technical schools exist for training, as well as apprenticeship programs.

Apprenticeship programs for aspiring electricians are also usually coupled with classroom instruction. While in training, students will learn how to assemble, install, test, diagnose, inspect, maintain, etc. different electrical components, wiring, and systems. Safety is also of upmost importance while on the job site. Since electricians work near and with components containing high voltage, they will always be at high risk of electrocution. All electrician programs should include detailed and advanced safety training.

HVAC Heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC) mechanics usually train at trade or technical schools, or participate in courses at junior or community colleges.

Apprenticeship programs are very common, as well. Also similar to the plumbing training, most HVAC apprenticeship programs take approximately three to five years to finish. These individuals will learn how to install, repair, and administer maintenance to equipment such as heating units, heating pumps, air conditioning, electric motors, burners, boilers, and refrigeration.

Construction Manager

Many individuals hold this title while having earned only a high school diploma. Construction experience often holds more weight than a degree where this position is concerned.

Many employers also ask candidates to hold certification as a construction manager before applying. Certification is increasingly becoming the gold standard in this career, providing proof of advanced construction and design knowledge. However, some individuals do earn a two or four year degree in relevant areas such as construction management, construction science, construction engineering, and building science.

Aircraft Mechanic This job requires individuals to become Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified.

Students will also receive training through Aviation Maintenance Technician schools, or through a two to four year degree in aviation technology, avionics, or aviation maintenance management. Most employers will also ask their workers to take an additional amount of training hours every year or two in order to stay up to date with the most current training and aviation topics.

While the specific responsibilities for each of these jobs are different, the required education and training for some are very similar.

Interested individuals should begin by looking for an apprentice program, vocational school, or degree program that will lead them to their desired career position. Learning about the proper certification, accreditation, or certificates that must be earned is also essential for any trade career.

GENERAL

Q: I work remotely for a civil engineering company in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I actually worked in the offi ce there for about 3 years right after college, but when I decided that I wanted to live in Denver, they set it up so that I can work from anywhere, and we Skype when we need more contact. I sometimes go into the offi ce, but it’s very infrequent. I have been able to work while I visit my parents, while I was visiting San Francisco, and while I was in Europe and everywhere else I’ve traveled. It’s a great job, and I make good money. I haven’t even used my vacation time yet because I am always working when I go diff erent places. I am still young, and I want to travel while I can. I wish that we had more diversifi ed projects, but we do stay very busy.

I have been attending engineering workshops and get togethers here in Denver because I miss the personal contact, and I’ve had two companies approach me about a job. I interviewed with the fi rst one and was not impressed. During that short interview, one of the managers made two sexist comments and hit on me once.

I’m not super sensitive, but that was not okay! The other place is a woman-owned company that works on some great projects here in Denver where I could learn a lot. I went to an interview and really liked the owner and the offi ce culture, but I was surprised when I interviewed because they said that I would get only 2 weeks of vacation. In fact, they said if I needed more time, I would have to take unpaid leave. The job pays more than my current company.

I know that there would be a lot of opportunity with this company, but one of my friends was there for 3 months and then laid-off when the oil bust happened a few years ago. I don’t want to go somewhere where I might get laid-off. I don’t know whether taking this job would be a good idea or not. I would really enjoy the more challenging work.

-Denver, Colorado Reader A: I can see why you are so confl icted: the decision isn’t about which company is better but about which lifestyle works better for you. Right now, you are having so much fun traveling and the fact that you can do your work remotely works great for that life.

If you are not ready to “settle down” and stay in one city to work, changing jobs is not a great idea.

It’s also not a good idea to ask about vacation in your fi rst interview. They will think that you really don’t want to be a dedicated, hard-working employee. Two weeks is the average vacation off ered when you join a new company. You are just in an insanely benefi cial situation right now.

You’re lucky that your experience and education have made your skills very marketable. I think you need to stay with your current company, but I think you need to make sure that the work you are doing is more satisfying. Talk with the owner about giving you assignments that challenge you more. Just remember that no job is guaranteed to be permanent. You could be laid off no matter where you work.

Keep your options open to interview with other companies because it’s always a good idea to see the opportunities that are out there. Don’t forget your priorities. If you get very serious about making a change, fi nd an executive recruiting fi rm that works in your industry and tell them to be on the lookout for you. They know where the best jobs are.

-If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, or work, I’d love to hear from you. Due to the volume of response, not every question will appear in the column, but most questions will receive an email response within 2 to 3 days.

Career training, credentials— and a paycheck in your pocket

By Olivia Crosby

“I learn new things every day,” says Elizabeth Cummings,

who is training as an electrician apprentice. “I get to use my hands and my mind. I’m practically guaranteed a great career in a few years—a job that I know I’ll like and that pays very well.”

In fact, Cummings earns full-time pay while she learns. “It’s better than any scholarship,” she says. Cummings is describing a few of the benefits of apprenticeship. She was looking for a free education in a highly skilled field. Like thousands of others, she found what she wanted in apprenticeship.

Apprenticeships are available for more than 850 occupations. Construction and manufacturing apprenticeships are most common, but apprenticeships are available for all sorts of occupations.

Possibilities range from telecommunications, environmental protection, and pastry making to healthcare, childcare, and the arts.

What do all of these programs have in common?

They combine structured on-the-job training with classroom instruction. Current programs vary in length from 1 to 6 years. Throughout that time, apprentices work—and learn—as employees.

And when they complete a registered program, apprentices receive a nationally recognized certificate from the U.S. Department of Labor—proof of their qualifications.

Apprenticeship also can be combined with other kinds of training. Classroom instruction often counts toward licenses, certifications, and college degrees.

But for all its advantages, apprenticeship takes time and effort. So before deciding if apprenticeship is right for you, keep reading to learn more about what apprenticeship is and how to find, choose, and qualify for a program.

Apprenticeship: The basics Apprenticeship is career preparation. It mixes learning on the job with learning in class. A child development apprentice, for example, might spend the day as an assistant teacher, helping to supervise children, lead activities, and make arts and crafts materials. That evening, in class, the apprentice might learn safety procedures and theories of child development.

46

SEPTEMBER 21, 2018

Most formal apprenticeships are registered with the U.S. Department of Labor. This registration means the program meets Government standards of fairness, safety, and training. Graduates of registered programs are called journey workers.

They receive certificates of completion from the U.S. Department of Labor or an approved State agency. These certificates are accepted by employers nationwide.

Employee associations, employers, or employer groups manage apprenticeship programs. As program sponsors, they choose apprentices, develop training standards, and pay wages and other expenses.

it in walls. Eventually, they will plan projects; set up, wire, and test entire construction sites; and diagnose and fix electrical problems.

Expert guidance speeds the learning process. In the beginning, apprentices are closely supervised by a journey worker. “You learn all the tricks of the trade,” says Chris Wilcox, a carpenter apprentice in Newark, Connecticut. “They work with you and show you how to do it.” But soon, apprentices gain independence. A journey worker stays nearby to answer questions

When apprentices are accepted into registered programs, the sponsors and the apprentices sign an agreement.

The agreement explains the specifics of the apprenticeship program: the skills apprentices will learn on the job, the related instruction they will receive, the wages they will earn, and the time the program will take. In signing an agreement, the sponsors promise to train the apprentices and make every effort to keep them employed. The apprentices promise to perform their jobs and complete classes.

On-the-job training. Registered apprenticeship training is more formal than most other types of on-the-job training.

Apprentices follow a structured plan.

They practice every major element of an occupation.

This variety is an advantage in the job market. “I’ll end up more well-rounded,” says Richard Marshall, a machinist apprentice in Wytheville, Virginia. “I’ll have more steady work because I can do more things.” And because employers develop the training plans, training keeps up with the needs of the industry.

Apprentices start by learning simple, repetitive tasks and then gradually progress to complex duties. Electrician apprentices, for example, might begin by learning to cut wire and install

VOL. 23 ISSUE 1159

and demonstrate new skills.

Related instruction. In addition to learning

by doing, apprentices take classes to learn the basics. A first class might teach the names and uses of the equipment a student will see on a jobsite. Later, students learn techniques, such as drafting, cost estimating, or reading blueprints— any procedure the worker must know to perform the occupation.

Students also learn the theories underlying the work they do. For metal workers, this means learning trigonometry, measurement, and applied physics. For cooks, it includes learning about nutrition and the economics of restaurant management. For science technicians, chemistry or physics is essential.

Apprentices see their academics pay off in the job they do. “At work, I notice the children behaving just the way we studied in class,” says Norma Grey, a child development apprentice in Huntington, West Virginia. Understanding these behaviors helps her work with the children more effectively.

Related instruction comes in a variety of formats.

Many apprentices attend a vocational school or community college one or two evenings a week after work. Others go to school full time for a few weeks each year. Still others take classes over the Internet or through the mail. Wherever and

whenever they study, most apprentices need at least 144 hours of instruction per year.

Earnings. As employees, apprentices earn

wages for the work they do. Unless they are part of a prison rehabilitation program, apprentices must make at least minimum wage to start, but they usually earn more. Beginning apprentices often earn about half of what fully trained workers do. They receive raises periodically—usually, every few months. “Workers are more valuable as they learn more skills, so we pay them more,” explains Tom Gibbs, a former heating and air conditioning apprentice who now hires apprentices for his heating and air conditioning business in Ames, Iowa.

Time commitment. Learning a skilled occupa-

tion takes time. How much time depends on the occupation. All apprenticeship programs require at least 2,000 hours of work experience. Some take up to 12,000. These hours translate into about 2 to 6 years. Most programs require about 4 years—or 8,000 hours—on the job.

People can reduce the years required by working more hours per week. Or, they can get credit for education and experience they already have.

Marshall is benefiting from this flexibility. His experience in a prior job and the classes he’s taken at a community college will shave hundreds of hours from his apprenticeship.

Some employers’ programs focus on skills more than on time at work. In these programs, apprentices still need work experience, but they have to pass skills tests to progress. Skills-based programs take roughly the same amount of time to finish as other programs do.

Many people keep training long after their apprenticeship ends. Reaching journey worker status opens the door to advanced instruction.

Cummings, for example, hopes to take master classes in solar energy systems after receiving her certificate of completion.

If you can’t find an apprenticeship, try this Sometimes, apprenticeship openings are unavailable, but there is another way to reap some of apprenticeship’s benefits: vocational schools and community colleges. These schools prepare students for many skilled occupations, and this training often is faster than apprenticeship. To find training most similar to apprenticeship, students can choose a school with the following:

Recognized credential.

Schools cannot offer journey worker certificates, but they do offer vocational certificates or college degrees. To ensure the value of the certificates a school offers, ask which agencies accredit the school. Then, check that the accrediting agencies are approved by the U.S. Department of Education. And finally, call the accreditor to verify the school’s current status.

process of checking accreditation. The system is available online at www.nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cool.

Visitors type in the name of a school and receive information about that school, including the organizations that accredit it. Visitors still need to call the accrediting organizations to verify that the schools have been approved. Contact information for these organizations is available online at www.ed.gov/offices/OPE/accreditation/ natlagencies.html.

Professional or trade associations also evaluate training programs associated with their occupations. These associations publish lists of approved programs.

Marketable skills.

To learn up-to-date, marketable skills, look for a school that meets with industry groups or follows written industry standards when designing a curriculum.

Investigate the backgrounds of teachers. What certifications or degrees do they have? Do they have work experience?

Also, most schools keep track of the success of their graduates. Ask to see these records.

Choose schools whose graduates find work in their field. You could also check the percentage of students who complete the school’s program and the number who default on student loans.

On-the-job training. To gain work experience

while you learn, look for programs that include formal internships or co-ops. Recent studies by educators suggest that combining a degree with a co-op or long-term internship increases graduates’ earnings, likelihood of being promoted, and likelihood of finding and keeping a job. This is especially true if schools have a formal relationship with an employer.

Free classroom training. Schools, unlike most appren-

ticeships, charge tuition. But you may qualify for financial aid and scholarships to lower the bill.

The U.S. Department of Education administers a financial aid program for all types of secondary education, including vocational education. To apply for financial aid, such as grants, loans, and work study, call toll-free, 1 (800) 433-3243. The application also is online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Frequently, State governments also offer aid. Uncover these funds by calling your State Department of Education, the financial aid department of a local college, and the Department of Health and Human Services.

5 WAYS TO HIT RESET ON YOUR FINANCIAL GOALS BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR

By Rachel Cruze

Summer is coming to an end, which means we are more than halfway through the year. What about those resolutions you made for 2018?

If you’re like most people, they probably went out the window during summer vacations. We’ve all been there!

With the holidays right around the corner, now is the perfect time to hit reset on your financial goals. Before you know it, you’ll be busy booking holiday travel plans, buying gifts for loved ones and enjoying other festivities.

No matter how you’re doing, you have plenty of time to get back on track. Here are a few ways to reach your financial goals before 2018 comes to an end:

MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS

Maybe your New Year’s resolutions weren’t realistic, or you had something pop up that drained your emergency fund and slowed you down.

Life happens, and it’s okay to adjust your goals. Look at where you are financially today and decide where you want to be by the end of the year. Don’t be afraid to set new goals for yourself, too. You can start making progress toward your future today. Just make sure you factor in the amount of time left in the year as you reset your goals to ensure they’re attainable.

GET BACK TO BUDGETING

A budget is the most important thing when it comes to winning with money. If you don’t tell your money where to go, you’ll wonder where it went! Assess how you’ve spent your money over the past few months.

Look for areas where you can cut back (dining out, groceries, new clothes), and put that money toward your goals. Trust me, you’ll feel less stressed.

REQUIRES: T.W.I.C or T.S.A Certification GPS • Valid Insurance Smartphone • Email

PLAN AHEAD

It’s September, which means we’ll be decking the halls before you know it. At this point, you can count how many paychecks you have left until the holidays. The last thing you want to do is spend money you don’t have. In 2017, roughly 74 percent of Americans said they failed to budget properly for the holidays and racked up an average of $1,054 in debt. Plan ahead by adding a line item to your budget for holiday spending. Aside from gifts, don’t forget to factor in travel expenses, charitable giving, and parties. Start setting this money aside now so you can enjoy the holiday season guilt-free.

STAY MOTIVATED BY TRACKING YOUR PROGRESS

You’ve got your budget, so now you just have to make sure that you stick to it and stay motivated. Tracking your progress can be one of the most helpful ways to do this. When you can visualize your progress, you’ll be excited by those quick wins, you’ll be less tempted to spend what you don’t have, and you’ll be motivated to keep going. I’ve created a free goal tracker that you can download at www.rachelcruze. com to make this part easy and fun!

FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS

Sometimes we want things so badly they start to feel more like needs.

Do you really need the newest iPhone? Do you really need to replace your outdated computer? These things are nice to have, but they’re not must-haves. With social media today, keeping up with the Joneses is harder than ever. And who would want to anyway? Don’t compare your life to someone else’s highlight reel. Focus on your goals and the things that really matter in life.

You don’t have to wait for a new year to set new goals, or make progress toward the goals you’ve already set. In order to win with your money later, you must be intentional today!

SELL PERSONAL CAR TO HELP PAY BUSINESS DEBT? Dear Dave, My husband started his own one-man, small business as a handyman a little less than a year ago. He has netted $17,000 in that time, but the business has about $13,000 worth of debt. We’ve always kept personal finances and business separate, but what would you think about us selling one of our paid-for cars to help with the business debt?

Robin Dear Robin, There’s nothing wrong with small beginnings. On top of that, you should always keep your business and personal finances separate.

Aside from the debt, it sounds like he’s off to a good start.

I think you’ll be able to pay off the debt from your future income.

If your husband started his business less than a year ago, he has spent that time trying to get things off the ground and working with very little name recognition. If he’s good at what he does, and he continues to work hard and market himself properly, he should be able to double what he made in the last year.

To do that, however, he’s going to have to spend some time in accountant mode. He needs to figure out the types of jobs he makes the most money on for the time he puts into them. I know a guy in our area who made more than $100,000 as a handyman in the last year. I’m talking about $100,000 in profit! His prices are higher than most in that line of work, but he’s the best. He provides superb quality work, and he’s always polite, on time, and on schedule.

FORGIVE THE DEBT? Dear Dave, Recently, I loaned some money to a good friend. He’s going to help me with a big home project over the next few weekends, so do you think I should pay him for the work or forgive the debt instead?

Marvin Dear Marvin, First, I don’t recommend loaning money to friends or family. Once in a while, things may work out and everyone ends up happy. But in most cases, it changes the dynamic of the relationship. The Bible says the borrower is a slave to the lender, and there’s a lot of truth in that — financially and emotionally.

The big question is whether you’ve already agreed to pay him for the work. Another consideration is how he views the situation. He may be looking at this as just helping a buddy, and he still owes the money.

Ask him what his expectations are before you guys start the job.

Just talk to him, and figure out what seems fair to you both. If you’ve already agreed on a certain amount, and the value of the work is close to what you loaned him, you might discuss the idea of paying back the debt that way.

But in the future, if someone close to you really needs financial help — and you’re not enabling bad behavior in the process — just make the money a gift..

—Dave

If your husband does the research and crunches some numbers, I think he can dial it in and make a lot more money than he’s making now. Find that sweet spot, and he’ll continue to grow the business!

—Dave
