1- Description of the profession and the competencies required for the labor market and the required skills: (which the graduate will practice upon graduation from vocational education and training institutions)
Electrical extension professions include home extension electrician professions (1 phase) and industrial extension electrician professions (3 phase). The activities and work associated with electrical extensions professions are different and varied, as they include installing, connecting, inspecting and maintaining the various electrical circuits necessary for lighting and for supplying industrial, office or home equipment, machinery and equipment with energy. Electrical extension workers may also sell and market electrical extension elements and in electricity production and distribution companies.

Before starting work, the electrical extension professional receives an explanation and instructions from professionals or specialists about the electrical plans and drawings that need to be implemented, as well as the time required to implement these plans. After that, the electrical extension professional, using engineering plans, determines the locations of electrical distribution points, lighting points, outlets and the locations of the central panels for the disconnect switches. These locations are marked on the walls, and the paths of the electrical wires inside the walls are determined and marked. In addition to making the electrical extensions necessary for lighting and supply, many electrical extension professionals also make the extensions and install the panels necessary to operate the heating burners (boilers). Then the extension professional drills the walls According to the identified locations and paths, plastic connection pipes are extended inside the walls and panels, distribution points, lighting and supply switches are installed in the designated locations, and then the wires are extended inside the pipes placed inside the walls and all points are connected to these wires according to the engineering plan and by following the general safety instructions and construction laws for electrical extensions, including the installation of a leakage prevention and grounding circuit, which is the circuit that ensures the rapid disconnection of the current in the event of an electrical short circuit. Then the circuit is checked to ensure the integrity of the connection and the integrity of the wires and all electrical elements according to the required plans, laws and regulations.

The electrical extension professional is often forced to repair the plastering and painting in the locations that have been dug in the walls, specifically in the work of old facilities. After completing the plastering and painting operations, the facades of the lighting and supply switches are installed, as well as the central panels and distribution points and are covered. After ensuring the integrity of the electrical circuit and the integrity of the connection according to the plan, the circuit is connected to the electric current and inspected.

In addition to the above, the industrial extension electrician (3 phase) also carries out and maintains industrial electrical extensions, implements and maintains electrical circuits for main and sub-panels, implements external and internal lighting circuits, grounds industrial extensions, installs, connects and operates machine switches, inspects electrical extensions using inspection and measuring devices, and applies occupational safety and health procedures and instructions.

The electrical extension professional also works in energy production and distribution companies, where they perform their duties by connecting electrical wires from high-voltage lines to transformer stations and from there to facilities and homes, installing electrical energy consumption meters, and maintaining and repairing these connections. The electrical extension professional may also perform additional operations such as extending internal telephone lines, television antenna wires, and others.

2- The competencies required to perform these tasks: (The competencies and skills that are trained in vocational education and training institutions to be able to practice the profession according to the description above)
To perform the previous tasks, electrical extension workers need to obtain the necessary competencies of knowledge, skills and trends, starting from general competencies in the field of electrical extensions, to specialized competencies in the field of domestic or industrial electrical extensions or both, so that they are able to master the use of single and three-phase electric generators, and deal with cables and wires that carry current and main and sub-switches and legacy Leakage, 3-phase motors and meters, 1-phase and 3-phase manual winding switches, 1-phase and 3-phase panels, 3-phase transformers, and the ability to deal with engineering plans by determining the locations of electrical distribution points, lighting points, outlets, and locations of central panels for disconnecting switches and others, and The ability to use tools, equipment and general safety procedures. English language skills, especially those related to the profession, the use of catalogs related to the profession, the skills of using engineering computer programs and those specialized in electrical extensions and the necessary life skills and character building necessary to perform the required tasks. And the competencies that enable him to perform the work mentioned in the description of the profession (which are the qualifications required for the labor market), in addition to mastering the modern technology skills that the labor market needs, and the entrepreneurial and administrative skills necessary to open his own project. Workers in this profession acquire these skills and competencies through education and vocational training that they obtain in vocational education and training institutions.

1- Workplaces

• Construction workshops (old and new residential and commercial buildings)
• Construction contracting companies or engineering offices
• Mobile electrician with a contractor or on his own account
• Stores selling materials and equipment needed for work
• Private workshops (with customers)
  

2- Professional development:
The possibility of starting as an electrical extensions professional assistant and an electrical extensions professional assistant after graduation. The period varies according to previous experience and the ability to develop, and then work as an electrical extensions professional. It is also possible for his/her work to develop over time to become a specialized electrical extensions professional with experience. In medium and large workshops, it is possible to develop to work as a professional supervisor, and many electrical extensions professionals work for themselves or create their own business. Income develops and multiplies according to development, gaining experience and demonstrating the ability to develop, and this is what distinguishes a graduate of a vocational education and training institution from someone who joins the labor market without a profession.
Vocational graduate
In addition, income and employment are linked to the general economic situation, but statistics showed a high ability for vocational graduates to find work or open their own business.

1- Vocational training locations
Vocational training is provided as electrical extensions in general or home electrical extensions (1 phase) or industrial electrical extensions (3 phase) as follows:

2- Admission requirements

• Vary according to the Vocational Education and Training Institution
• Most of them focus on students who have completed the basic stage of education (tenth grade) and are between the ages of 16-20 years.

There are short courses on demand in these centers to develop the skills of workers in the profession and the unemployed or according to the target group.

3- Possibility of completing education

Some institutions are:

• Industrial schools that train through the applied or industrial guidance system
• Vocational training centers that can hold courses that qualify students to apply for the guidance

Those who have completed the vocational guidance can complete their education in colleges and applied universities. Those who have not completed the vocational guidance through their institution can apply for it through private study two years after graduation and work in the profession (some institutions hold qualifying courses to apply for the exam). However, the certificate obtained from these centers qualifies its holder to work as a professional in the labor market without the need to complete his/her studies.
