The Beginning of Aaron's Journey
Aaron's journey with Capital began when he was just 20 years old.
He didn't know if his career path would be a construction job or one
in the electrical industry, but he wanted to do something different.
At that age, he joined Capital Switchgear, where he learned about
the electrician’s world and more importantly working as part of a
team.
Aaron's Progress at Capital Switchgear
Aaron's next step was to complete his apprenticeship. The programme started training in Dún Laoghaire college and practical coaching in Capital Switchgear. The apprenticeship involved attending DIT Kevin Street and GMIT in Galway also. After 4 years of intense working and learning, Aaron qualified as an Electrician.
“The support I received from Capital Switchgear gave me the confidence to go on to further education, and I'm very proud of the qualifications I've achieved.” said Aaron.
It was not long after that his interest in Project Management became clear and he approached the company to facilitate his studies further. Capital Switchgear aided Aaron both financially and with flexible working arrangements. By 2021 Aaron had completed the course on Project Management and received a promotion to become a Project Manager within the company. Capital Switchgear would like to congratulate Aaron on reaching this outstanding milestone.
