Electricians install, maintain, and repair electrical systems. The document profiles two women, Stacie and Lara, who pursued electrician apprenticeships later in life through CITC. Stacie had a successful 12-year career as an electrician after starting her apprenticeship at age 40. Lara went from retail management to her second year as an electrician apprentice through CITC, allowing her to earn a living wage for the first time. CITC offers apprentices classroom and on-the-job training, with wages increasing over time. Employers are seeking apprentices to address worker shortages in the field.
