You'll see that what you really need isn't a job, but a career that will sustain you through your life and give you the
​ platform to achieve your dreams.

Within our organisation, practically all our senior management team started out as electrical apprentices.

We believe that the opportunity facing apprentice electricians has never been better.

​In this short video, CJK founder Conor Kearney talks about where an electrical apprenticeship with CJK can take you.

APPRENTICE PATHWAYS

Where can an apprenticeship with CJK take you?
​

Once you serve your time with CJK, you can take lots of different career paths.

APPRENTICE STORIES

Every apprentice has a different story.
​

Here are a few of ours.

There are so many places that an electrical apprenticeship can take you - become an electrician, start your own business, travel the world, stay in the company you start with or move industry. Your own path will only become apparent to you as it unfolds in front of you.

The one thing we find that is constant with those that serve their time with us is that they appreciate the opportunity and solid grounding that they are given through their time with us.
