Significant Points

Employers prefer applicants who have basic knowledge and skills in electronics; many applicants gain these skills at vocational training programs and community colleges.
Employment is expected to grow more slowly than the average for all occupations because it often is cheaper to replace equipment than to repair it.
Job opportunities will be best for applicants with knowledge of electronics and with related hands-on experience.
