Nearly every building has electricity. Electricians are needed to install and replace these power systems. Alternative power generation, such as solar and wind, is a growing field that should require more electricians for installation. Electricians will continue to be needed to link these alternative systems to homes and power grids over the projections decade.

Electrical and electronics engineering technologists and technicians work closely with electrical and electronics engineers and computer hardware engineers. These workers are needed to support the continuing integration of computer and electronics systems, such as those found in automobiles and in various portable and household products.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were nearly 762,000 electrician jobs and 102,500 electrical and electronics technician available in 2022. The Electrical/Electronics Technology at Galveston College combines industry-standard equipment with hands-on training to prepare students for a career in residential, commercial and industrial electrical and electronics.  Students may choose to complete up to three levels of certification or an Associates of Applied Science degree.
