As Uncle Sam pointed men, and some women, to the battlefields, Rosie the Riveter steered women to the munitions factories. Today, women are again encouraged to enter the skilled trades to help alleviate labor shortages. As Tulsa Welding School underscores in this graphic, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weldingschool.com\/blog\/skilled-trades\/booming-demand-women-in-skilled-trades-wist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">women also have much to gain<\/a> by donning a welding helmet or tool belt: higher wages than traditionally female-dominated trades, career advancement, and fast and affordable training.<\/p>\n<p>Government positions can offer even more when it comes to benefits and satisfaction. Read on for career facts about three government skilled trade jobs: welding, HVAC installation, maintenance, and repair, and electrical work.<\/p>\n<h4>HVAC Technicians<\/h4>\n<p>HVAC technician jobs are set to grow by 14% up to the year 2024. As an HVAC technician, you would be tasked with handling the installation, repair, and maintenance of heating and cooling units. As you gain experience and further your training, you could enter management roles. Alternatively, you could\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/installation-maintenance-and-repair\/heating-air-conditioning-and-refrigeration-mechanics-and-installers.htm#tab-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">boost your job prospects<\/a>\u00a0by learning about eco-friendly HVAC equipment and technology.<\/p>\n<p>Across the country, HVAC technicians earned a mean annual wage of $47,380 in 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Blue-collar workers employed by the federal government\u00a0earned a mean annual wage\u00a0of $52,624 in 2013.<\/p>\n<h4>Welders<\/h4>\n<p>The American Welding Society predicts a shortage of 400,000 welders by the year 2024, so those who have training and experience in this profession will likely find job opportunities to be plentiful in the near future. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/production\/welders-cutters-solderers-and-brazers.htm#tab-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Manufacturers, specialty trade contractors, and repair and maintenance companies<\/a> typically hire welders; however, numerous federal government institutions also need good welders.\u00a0Recent statistics\u00a0show that the government agencies that hire the largest number of welders are the Coast Guard, Federal Prison System, Forest Service, Veteran&#8217;s Health Administration, and the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection. Pay varies depending on which agency you work with; however, the average annual wage for government welders stood at $59,934.38 in 2014.<\/p>\n<h4>Electricians<\/h4>\n<p>There are a number of careers related to electrical work. You could work as an electrician and receive additional schooling to become a project manager or a project engineer. Demand in this field is set to grow by 14% up to the year 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Federal government jobs are also available for electricians. The U.S. government currently\u00a0employs more than\u00a014,500 workers in jobs related to electrical work: options include working as a high voltage electrician, electronics technician, electrical engineer, and electronic technician. The national average annual wage for an electrician came to $55,590 in 2014, notes the Bureau of Labor Statistics; however, electricians working for the federal government earned an average annual wage\u00a0of $59,332 in 2014.<\/p>\n<h4>High Career Satisfaction<\/h4>\n<p>A\u00a0recent survey\u00a0notes that up to <a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.govexec.com\/interstitial.html?v=2.1.1&amp;rf=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.govexec.com%2Fpay-benefits%2F2015%2F09%2Fgovernment-employees-their-job-perks-way-more-private-sector-workers%2F120695%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">80% of government employees are pleased<\/a> with their retirement package and health insurance benefits. What is more, government employees may get anywhere from two to four weeks of vacation time per year. Other benefits\u00a0include\u00a0great job security, satisfaction with bosses and the work required, promotion opportunities, coworkers, compensation, and workplace safety. Just as importantly, federal government employees have a high level of job satisfaction that comes with the ability to make their part of the world a better place.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for a career option with good pay, excellent benefits, and plenty of job opportunities, then a skilled trade may be just right for you. Women of all ages can receive training and find employment in welding, electrical work, HVAC work, pipefitting, and many other trades. If you already have training and are looking for good employment opportunities, you may want to consider a job opening with the federal government. As surveys and statistics suggest, there is much to take advantage of when working for the federal government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since World War II, the U.S. government has recognized women\u2019s knack for the skilled trades.
