The whole world of electricity is so broad that most workers find it necessary to specialize in some small part of the work. Some become linemen for power and telephone companies, others go into factory work, installing, serving and maintaining the many electrical devices used in modern industry. Perhaps the widest span of electrical work is found by the journeyman elec- trician employed by an electrical contractor. He may be wiring a new home store, or oiiceg he may be hooking up some motors in an industrial concern or wiring a large sign on a roof. He is continually meeting new situations which call for real problem solving on his part. He must demonstrate and apply a real understanding of basic knowledge. Throughout the four years the student receives training in shop and theory to provide him with the basic skills and necessary knowledge so that industry can develop him into an experienced journeyman, and later a supervisor in the world's most expanding industry.
