What should I get hired for first if a company wouldn't hire a technician with less than 3 years of experience?

I'm willing to take programs for the trade but I'm not sure if they count into hours worked.

Hi Aaron,

If you're aiming for a technician role but need to build up experience first, consider entry-level or supportive positions that let you work alongside technicians, such as:

Apprentice or Trainee Positions: Many companies offer technician apprentice programs where you can earn hands-on experience while learning directly from experienced techs.

Junior Technician or Technician Assistant: Some companies may have assistant roles where you'll work closely with senior technicians, gaining valuable on-the-job training.

Related Roles in the Same Field: Depending on the specific trade, roles like equipment operator, maintenance assistant, or lab technician (for fields like electrical or mechanical trades) can help you develop relevant skills.

If you're taking training programs, some companies may count it as experience or consider you if you have a certification. Make sure to check with potential employers to understand their policy on this.

Best of luck!
