Have you ever thought about swapping the tools for the classroom?
If you’re an experienced electrician and you enjoy helping apprentices, explaining how things work or passing on what you’ve learnt over the years, teaching might be a career move worth exploring.
And you don’t have to commit before you know whether it’s for you.
Our EDGE Program gives qualified electricians the opportunity to experience teaching, learn alongside experienced teachers, gain the qualifications they need and get paid while they train.
Next week, we’re holding two relaxed information sessions where you can:
⚡ Hear from electricians who’ve already been through EDGE
⚡ Meet our teaching team
⚡ Tour the campus
⚡ Find out how the program works
⚡ Ask your questions over light refreshments
📍 Carlton North
Wednesday 19 August | 4:30pm to 5:30pm
📍 Dandenong
Thursday 20 August | 4:30pm to 5:30pm
👉 Come along and see if teaching could be your next move. Reserve your spot here:

As one of our EDGE teachers says: “It’s probably one of the best decisions I’ve made.”
Maybe it could be yours too.

EV charging is becoming another service customers expect their electrician to understand.
If it’s not part of your skill set yet, there’s a pretty good opportunity to change that.
NECA Education & Careers’ Electric Vehicle Charging Essentials course gives electricians practical, job-ready knowledge for residential and small-commercial EV charger installations up to 22kW.
It’s one day, face-to-face and right now, it’s FREE for eligible participants with dates available in Dandenong, Carlton North and Ballarat.
Learn how to select the right charger, understand maximum demand, design a compliant installation, integrate charging with solar and confidently advise your customers.

Have you ever thought about taking your electrical career in a different direction?
The EDGE Program helps experienced electricians turn what they know on the tools into skills they can use in the classroom.
Because being a great electrician and being a great trainer are two different things.
EDGE gives you the support, confidence and practical teaching skills to explain complex ideas, connect with apprentices and help shape the next generation of the industry.
That’s exactly what it did for NECA Education & Careers teacher Ashleigh Wainwright.
“The EDGE Program is where I learned a lot more about how to be the best trainer I could be.”
Ashleigh’s career has taken her from university, to an electrical apprenticeship, major construction and rail projects, and now into teaching. Her story is a great reminder that an electrical career can lead in all sorts of directions.
So, if you’ve ever thought about:
⚡ Passing on what you know
⚡ Giving back to the industry
⚡ Taking on a new challenge
⚡ Helping apprentices build their skills and confidence The EDGE Program could be the next step for you.

Today is World Youth Skills Day, and a chance to recognise the skills, training and support that help young people build meaningful careers.
This year’s theme, Skills for a shared future, feels especially relevant to the electrical industry.
The apprentices and students entering the trade today will help shape how we power homes, support renewable energy, build smarter infrastructure and respond to the changing needs of our communities.
But those skills are not built alone.
They grow through quality training, hands-on experience, supportive trainers, employers who invest in apprentices and strong connections to industry.
At NECA Education & Careers, we are proud to help young people build not only technical skills, but also confidence, problem-solving ability, adaptability and a willingness to keep learning.
Because a shared future is built by skilled people, and by industries willing to invest in the next generation.
