Schneider Electric has launched Master the Craft, an initiative to support electricians in the UK.

The initiative will provide electricians with tools and resources to help them improve and develop new skills. Central to its implementation are a series of webinars, the extension of the mySchneider app and the creation of a new Facebook community, The Electrician Group.

The webinars will feature industry experts including the e5 Group, which will be discussing topics such as training pathways for electricians. The app is an electrical hub providing access to product catalogues, a quotation builder, live chat support and the rewards loyalty scheme. The Facebook group aims to connect and create a dialogue between industry professionals, as well as serve as a home for promotions, events and giveaways.

“Electricians are vital to modern society, keeping our homes and businesses running. They don’t always get the credit they deserve – they stay on top of the increasingly technical aspects of the job, while managing their businesses and customers. It is a true craft, which takes time and dedication to master,” said Julien Levet, Electrician Channel VP at Schneider Electric.

“At Schneider Electric, we have immense respect for electricians and their craft. We feel it is our responsibility to empower industry professionals, making them feel valued and proud of their work, and support them throughout their career.”
