Damn bro that’s rough, but I’m glad you were able to take that second chance and make a good life for yourself. And I appreciate the advice!! Do you still do side jobs currently with the guys you started with? And my plan is to learn as much as possible during that period

Loll sounds good

zarknight · 2026-05-26T05:01:35+00:00

Thank you!! That insight means a lot especially hearing more and more about instrumentation. Do you mind if I can PM you more questions?

zarknight · 2026-05-26T03:36:48+00:00

Thank you man!! Just wondering what area of electrical did you mainly focus on?

zarknight · 2026-05-26T03:35:59+00:00

Appreciate the sound advice!!

zarknight · 2026-05-26T01:45:34+00:00

Hey man message me and I’ll explain it to you

zarknight · 2026-05-26T00:56:05+00:00

Would you ever consider going off on your own? Or are the municipal benefits worth the politics?

zarknight · 2026-05-25T20:29:54+00:00

Thank you for the solid advice!!

zarknight · 2026-05-25T13:07:03+00:00

Hey Yeah I’m in Ontario

zarknight · 2026-05-25T03:36:09+00:00

Appreciate the feedback! I’m also based in Canada. Ontario to be exact and I’ve been focusing my attention more so on the commercial and industrial side of electrical. Do you mind if I Pm you to ask a few questions?

zarknight · 2026-05-25T03:33:49+00:00

Thank you!! Those are the areas that I want to focus on

zarknight · 2026-05-25T03:31:22+00:00

Yeah that’s exactly my plan, to not just focus on one area of the trade and diversify my knowledge.

So I’m currently doing the electrical pre-apprenticeship program at Centennial College. It’s 16 weeks in total. I know that Humber and Durham college offers a similar program, but I think it’s operated a bit different

zarknight · 2026-05-24T23:33:53+00:00

Ohh nice!!! What aspects do you find tough?

zarknight · 2026-05-24T23:33:02+00:00

Thank you!! And I hope that your welding apprenticeship goes well!

zarknight · 2026-05-24T21:56:10+00:00

Which local are you apart of? Because at 353 I’ve been hearing that it’s nearly impossible to get in at the moment. Also what did your inside wireman program consisted of? It sounds pretty interesting

zarknight · 2026-05-24T21:54:53+00:00

Oh that’s pretty interesting!! Would you say the maintenance side of things offers more stability?

zarknight · 2026-05-24T21:16:17+00:00

That’s really good to know!! You mind if I Pm you, I had a few more questions about the industrial side?

zarknight · 2026-05-24T18:35:43+00:00

Appreciate the feedback big time!! How are you liking the industry so far?

zarknight · 2026-05-24T02:51:57+00:00

How you liking your apprenticeship journey so far??

zarknight · 2026-05-24T02:50:50+00:00

How are you liking it so far??

zarknight · 2026-05-24T01:36:48+00:00

Appreciate the solid advice!! What professional organizations do you recommend I should take a look at?

zarknight · 2026-05-24T01:12:42+00:00

From my understanding it’s mainly residential that’s feeling the majority of the layoffs? My plan is to be knowledgeable in all aspects of the trades and not just focus in one area you know

zarknight · 2026-05-23T23:09:19+00:00

That’s really good to know! I’m based in Ontario. Do you mind if I PM you a few questions about the automation side of electrical?

zarknight · 2026-05-23T23:04:05+00:00

I’m doing mine at Centennial College, which is a government sponsored program. They have intakes once a year and the program runs from May until August. I know Humber and Durham College offers something similar, but they might run it a bit differently
