Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
In high school, I was recruited by Royle Printing’s human resources department.
I got some offers to play college football but ultimately decided to join Royle Printing instead.
In the fall after graduating high school, I started going to school once a week at the technical college as part of Royle Printing’s electrical apprenticeship program.
I’m now working as an industrial electrician for Royle Printing, where I spend most of my time troubleshooting electrical issues for the company.

Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for everyone
If you want to be an industrial electrician, I recommend speaking with different factories. You can walk in and ask whoever is working in reception if it's possible to do a job shadow. You can also email the factory's human resources or support department to inquire about shadow opportunities.
