RSI is a Great Training Option for Everyone
Learn more about how we can prepare you to advance your career.
Training at a respected vocational school — the Refrigeration School, Inc. in Phoenix, Arizona — will prepare you for a successful electrical career. With electrician training from this technical school, students can expect to begin their careers at a more advanced level than those who did not attend a vocational school. Many new electricians will even have the flexibility to choose between working as an electrician for a company or being self-employed.
Electricians with broader electrical knowledge tend to fare well in the construction industry. Knowledge of electrical construction and maintenance; an understanding of the finer points of electronics concepts and data; and skill in voice and video wiring enable RSI graduates to be successful in an array of electrical careers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics anticipates electrical career openings to grow 7% from 2006 to 2016; widespread retirement of Boomer electricians is projected to create additional job opportunities during this time period.
Consider an electrical career working at casinos
Larger buildings like casinos require electricians to understand complex electrical systems. Electricians will conduct the repairs, working with various tools and equipment such as electronic controllers, transformers, motors, and generators. They may also work as consultants to casino management, advising them on the conditions of equipment and recommending repair options.
RSI will prepare you to work with casinos all over the country, from the $450 million dollar Majestic Star in Pittsburgh, PA to the $500 million MGM Mirage in Biloxi, MS. Understanding video wiring is especially important in casinos, where every betting table is constantly under camera surveillance. A typical casino may have as many as 2,000 cameras observing the gaming tables at all times, all of which need to be maintained on a regular basis.
Other opportunities grow from completing courses at a vocational or electrical school
Speaking Spanish is a useful tool for electricians and Phoenix, AZ has a large Hispanic population. Communicating with non-English speaking co-workers is becoming more common in the construction industry, and some RSI students who intend to work in Arizona might wish to become more familiar with Spanish.

Casinos are large buildings that offer many opportunities for electricians; however, electrical systems in office buildings, factories, and homes are still in high demand, as well. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) states that there will be in increase in power plant construction over the next ten years, necessitating more trained electricians in the United States.
As technology continues to change and advance, well-trained electricians will be in high demand. Companies would not be able to function today without computers and communications tools – and these machines’ complex wiring and equipment are maintained by skilled electricians. From casinos to computer software firms, electricians with technical training are needed across America.
