Career Prospects of a Technician

The work of technicians has a lesser scope than engineers and scientists and is essentially application oriented. Their work involves assisting scientists, engineers or doctors in project operations, inspecting and devising products and quality control. Their work needs more skill than theoretical application. Within the field of engineering there is immense scope for technician jobs especially in aerospace engineering, civil engineering etc.

Then there are electrical and electronics technicians who help design, develop, test, and manufacture electrical and electronic and communication devices. Electromechanical technicians, environmental technicians, industrial engineering technicians, mechanics, electricians, mechanics and automobile technicians are other similar job profiles.

There are also specialized short term courses in Advanced Training Institute (ATI) which enhances the skills of candidates. ITI qualified persons can set up their own garage, motor/generator/transformer winding shops or fabrication shops depending upon trade opted. Also candidates can apply for jobs in private sector and public sectors. Government organisations like Indian Army, Navy, Airforce and also paramilitary forces like BSF, CRPF provide opportunities for ITI passed candidates of different trades. Similarly job opportunities for clinical/medical laboratory workers are also anticipated to be excellent because testing demand is growing and the demand for such technicians is more than the supply of qualified and trained professionals
