What are your career goals as an Electrician?
"My ultimate goal is to become a licensed Electrician and become part of a professional team that works on large-scale commercial and industrial projects."
The interviewer wants to see that you have a genuine interest in becoming a licensed Electrician. They want to ensure that the time they spend training you will not be put to waste. When responding, your answer should reflect your long-term and short-term goals. Of course, the answer you give should align with the usual career course of an Electrician Apprentice.
"In the short-term, I would like to stay with one company for all of my apprenticeship hours. After completing my apprenticeship hours, my goal is to be hired full-time by that same company. I am looking for stable employment with a reputable organization that I can stay with long-term."

Firstly, I want to complete my 4 years apprentice and become fully qualified. After this, I will reassess what options I have. With Tarmac being one of the UK's leaders in the sustainable construction space I am curious to find out more about how Electricians can help support this aspect of the business and further my formal education with this in mind.
