Growth Lives Outside the Comfort Zone (Video)

Play Video

If you’re an electrician—or someone thinking seriously about becoming one—you’ve probably asked the big questions: Will I get real opportunities? Will I be supported as I learn? Is there a long-term path here, or is it just another job?

In the video, the message is clear: Barts Electric is a place where people are encouraged to grow, take on responsibility, and build a lasting career in the electrical trade. And because Barts Electric is a national electrical construction contractor, that growth can lead to a wide range of project experiences and career directions.

A culture that backs you up when you want to level up

One of the strongest themes from the transcript is support. At Barts Electric, if you feel capable of taking on something new, the response isn’t “wait your turn.” It’s more like: “Yes—we can do that.”

Even if the task is a bit outside your comfort zone, the expectation isn’t that you figure it out alone. You’ll be coached, supported, and challenged in a way that helps you improve without setting you up to fail. That combination—support + push—is often what separates a workplace where people stagnate from one where people actually develop.

Real responsibility—sometimes earlier than you’d expect

Another standout point: opportunity shows up everywhere, and it isn’t limited by title alone.

The transcript describes something that turns heads in any electrical shop or jobsite conversation: first-year apprentices stepping into leadership and “running guys.” That kind of responsibility can be intimidating, but it’s also a sign that the company is willing to invest trust in people who show initiative and potential.

It also signals something important for electricians at any stage: growth isn’t theoretical. It’s hands-on, jobsite-driven, and tied to what you’re ready to learn next.

So many paths, it can feel “overwhelming” (in a good way)

The speaker describes the opportunities as almost overwhelming—because you can’t do everything. But the point is powerful: whatever you want to do, you can do if you’re willing to pursue it.

That’s especially meaningful at a national electrical construction contractor like Barts Electric, where the variety of projects and teams can open doors to different types of work, different roles, and long-term advancement in the trade.

Advice to future electricians: stick with it

The transcript ends with a message that hits home for anyone who’s been through hard days in the field:

  • Stick with electrical
  • Stay in the business
  • Don’t give up
  • There are opportunities everywhere—and you can go anywhere

For someone considering the trade, that’s not hype—it’s perspective from experience. The electrical industry rewards consistency, curiosity, and grit, and the right contractor can accelerate that path.

Barts Electric is always hiring new electrical apprentices and experienced journeymen.
