Career change after a layoff, where to begin?, electrician's helper here

I want to move from electrician's helper to something with more stability. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I have a little time and a small budget for training. Did you take a pay cut?

Try a small project in the new field before committing. It told me a lot about whether I would enjoy it.

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 14 months.
