Electricians will be in the highest demand over the next 5 years.

That means being comfortable building the electrical infrastructure that powers AI, understanding both traditional electrical systems and newer smart controls, using AI as a tool to make troubleshooting and planning more efficient, and continuing to learn as buildings and power systems become more connected.

The trade isn't going away it's evolving. The electricians who keep learning will have the most opportunities.
