This was the question I asked myself. What career path am I starting with? As the day goes by this thoughts continue to grow even stronger. Then I reached out to a lecturer who then gave me hints on what to look out for. Firstly, I did an HSE course, then move on to learning #Engineeringjobsresponsibilities, #Engineeringjobsintheindustries, #Engineeringjobsreadiness and so on. I had equipment maintenance training, I had machine installation training, I had basic training on machining but needed to become a professional practitioner in all these skills. What did I do as official employment wasn't coming through? I did more #improvement training. I acquire a craftsman skill in lathe/milling machine maintenance and servicing. I applied as a #Volunteer worker and was accepted. Sometime all we need is an opportunity to display/put our skills and talent into use. This #Volunteer job made me to gain more skills and gave me a better understanding to what being a #Teamplayer entails, working under pressure/emotional control where you get yelled at, time management and on-the-job physicality. I was happy I applied as a volunteer meaning no wages or salary, my lunch during work and transportation to work are mine alone. This gave the impression to the employees that I was ready to learn which made to give me the necessary skill set to start my career as a #MaintenanceEngineer in #Hydraulicpumps. Apply as a #Volunteer to grow more/new skill set. When your desired career job officially isn't coming through, apply for as a #Volunteer as it will open a new better path for you. Believe me.

One of the biggest failures of the conversation around vocational careers and the trades: it doesn't go hard enough on just how much these jobs are about computing and robotics as they are about the hands-on expertise. Cars are basically computers. (Related: The world needs EV mechanics especially — now *there* is a career where you're unlikely to get laid off every two years.) Farming, mining, and manufacturing? Robots, robots, robots! And on and on. But the only way people — especially in the media can talk about this stuff is dirty hands blue collar jobs. As if we're still living in the 1960s. Two interviews I was really proud of from The Elective tried to put better info into the ecosystem. One was with a leader of Massachusetts' superb (and successful) CTE program: https://lnkd.in/ea7Dhq7M The other was with John Deere's director of emerging technology: https://lnkd.in/ekqrFUa We all need to do better when engaging with this conversation! Because a nation without plumbers, mechanics, carpenters, tradespeople is a nation that will cave in on itself.
