The electrical industry is growing and the pressure is too
Demand for skilled electricians continues to grow, driven by population growth, infrastructure investment, renewable energy, and new technologies. At the same time, experienced tradespeople are in short supply, workloads are increasing, and supervising apprentices is becoming more complex.
Employers are facing:
- Ongoing skills shortages across electrical and electrotechnology roles
- Increased pressure on supervisors to manage safety, productivity and training
- Apprentices dropping out early due to lack of support or structure
- Time-consuming compliance, administration and training coordination
MEGT helps businesses overcome these challenges with the right people, systems and support.
The result? Reduced administration, reduced compliance complexity and apprenticeship outcomes well above the national averages.
No gaps. No short circuits.
Finding an apprentice is only the first step. Keeping them safe, supported and progressing for the duration of their training is the real challenge.
MEGT are experts at every stage of the apprenticeship journey — recruitment, onboarding, payroll, rotations, safety and compliance and ongoing coaching — and nothing is left to chance.
We provide comprehensive, flexible support to help employers and electrical apprentices succeed with services designed to work seamlessly within your business. Whether you need full end-to-end support or targeted assistance, we can tailor solutions to suit your needs.
