You reckon a FIFO electrician apprenticeship is worth giving a go? I am a Uni graduate in computer science and genuinely thinking about a career in trades.

How much do they get

[@user-ir9qo7sw8l]

Give it a go mate anyone with a university Qualification can fo it

[@REECEAVA]

Not many fifos are apprentice, try starting an electrical apprenticeship with an industrial electrical company as thats what primarily fifos do

[@imanrahimi1739]

there are 2 different ways to get FIFO electrical apprenticeship. one is to get employment from a mining company such as FMG, Rio, BHP and alike, second way is to get a job with a electrical company that work for mining companies. either way will get you the license and relevant experience. to increase your chances you can be a trade assistance for awhile, do your pre apprenticeship, move up north or declare in your resume that you are willing to move up north. Good Luck
