Electrical

Toolkit is proud to offer schools the very best Electrical Training Systems available for students to build their understanding and mastery of electrical technologies. The building blocks for careers in multiple pathways, electrical technologies are the important foundational learning blocks for students as they begin their studies.

Mastering electrical skills will lead to successful careers in fields such as Advanced Manufacturing, Skilled Trades, Mechatronics, HVAC, Alternative Energy, and Automotive Technologies, and more.

Electrical Skills

Students must learn basic concepts of electricity and electrical measurements. They must be able to analyze circuits, troubleshoot circuits, and understand differences between Alternating Currents (AC) and Direct Currents (DC). Learners will be expected to understand basic topics including inductance, capacitance, combination circuits, and transformers, along with series and parallel circuits.

Learners will be expected to wire industrial devices while also understanding electrical safety.

Job Outlook

Most jobs in CTE require a strong foundation in electrical technologies and concepts. From electricians to technicians, jobs in the electrical field are growing in need and pay. As technologies and systems grow more complex and advanced, the demand for increased training in electrical technologies is also growing.

Toolkit’s hands-on training systems combined with digital simulation solutions and eLearning provides students with needed industry-validated skills and certifications.
