Renowned Lincolnshire Electrical Engineering Company Control Freaks Release Advice on How to Break into the Industry

The world of electrical engineering is an incredibly diverse and rewarding career option for young people looking for a challenging and technically minded profession.

Electrical engineering could involve everything from project concepts and design to implementing, testing and maintaining equipment over time.

Clint Johnson, the Managing Director of renowned electrical engineering company Control Freaks Ltd is a firm believer in offering practical and effective apprenticeship schemes.

In the recently released blog post, Clint joins his colleagues, Electrical Engineer James Thomas and Electrical Engineering Apprentice Andrew Sadd, to offer their insight into how courses and apprenticeships helped to define their careers in the industry.

 “I was introduced to automation when I was on a YTS scheme in the late eighties, and it was rather controversial at the time, and has been since, in fact.” Says Clint.

One of the biggest issues with the old YTS was the fact that young people weren’t receiving the development opportunities that the modern apprenticeships schemes offer.

Andrew Sadd, an Electrical Engineering Apprentice, is the newest member of Control Freaks and had this to say,

“The attraction to this career started with computer programming, however I realised that I wanted something more practical that incorporated this skillset.”

Andrew, who has only been with the team for four months, said:

“My experiences with been very positive and they are an amazing team to work with and I look forward to my future experiences with the company as I become more qualified.”

Clint, when asked about the benefits of the modern apprenticeship when compared to his own experience, said,

“I’m passionate about making sure that lads like Andrew can have a fantastic experience with us, so we can give them the knowledge and skills they need to go out and achieve whatever they want in this exciting field.”
