Prospects over the next 3 years

The employment outlook will be moderate for Electronic service technicians (household and business equipment) (NOC 22311) in Newfoundland and Labrador for the 2024-2026 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

• Employment decline will lead to the loss of a few positions.
• Several positions will become available due to retirements.

Increased consumer demand for advanced digital equipment should continue to create opportunities for technicians, especially for those who stay up to date with the latest technology. However, due to the declining price of electronics as new technology emerges and the speed with which it changes and improves, many people now prefer to replace an electronic device rather than repair it. This change in consumer habits may dampen job opportunity prospects in the repair and maintenance sub-industry. Post-secondary education is typically not a requirement to work in this field, as employers will typically train on the job. However, additional training and certification would be seen as an asset.
