Are you an electrical engineering student or graduate confused about your career direction? Wondering if you should switch to IT like everyone else? This real success story proves that staying in electrical engineering with the right skill training creates better career opportunities than constantly chasing trending fields.
Discover how two strategic courses at ABC Trainings—AutoCAD and PLC Programming—transformed a confused electrical engineering graduate into a confident automation professional working at a leading company in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
After completing electrical engineering with both a diploma from MGM and a degree from MIT College of Engineering, career confusion set in deeply. Despite six years of electrical education, the path forward seemed unclear. Should IT be pursued for better salaries? Should government exam preparation begin? Or should electrical engineering itself be the focus?
This confusion affects thousands of electrical engineering graduates every year. Family and friends constantly suggest IT courses promising 10-12 lakh packages, making you question your electrical engineering degree. The pressure to abandon your core field becomes overwhelming.
This is exactly where ABC Trainings makes the difference.
After researching online and receiving friend recommendations, a visit to ABC Trainings' Kranti Chowk branch in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar provided the clarity needed. Instead of suggesting a complete career change, the counseling session revealed how practical courses could enhance electrical engineering careers specifically.
The decision was made: invest 2-3 months in gaining industry-relevant skills rather than wasting time in confusion. Two courses were selected that would prove career-defining:
What made the training experience exceptional? The supportive, friendly environment where questions were encouraged.
The trainer created an atmosphere where hesitation simply didn't exist. This matters enormously for technical subjects where small doubts compound into major knowledge gaps. Even when in-person attendance wasn't possible, support continued through phone calls, ensuring every obstacle received a solution.
The branch manager's leadership and student handling abilities stood out. The friendly yet professional atmosphere made learning enjoyable while maintaining high standards. Students felt comfortable asking any question, no matter how basic it seemed.
This is the ABC Trainings difference—we don't just teach courses, we build confident professionals.
The AutoCAD training focused specifically on electrical panel designing. This practical focus paid off immediately in the professional role at Sunrise Automation.
What was learned:
How it's used daily: Panel designing requires visualizing how electrical components interact spatially, planning wire routing, and creating clear documentation. The AutoCAD skills gained at ABC Trainings made it possible to start contributing to real projects from day one on the job.
Companies need electrical engineers who can use AutoCAD effectively. This single skill dramatically improves your employability and starting salary.
The PLC and HMI Programming course covering Siemens systems proved invaluable for entering the automation field. Industrial automation is one of the fastest-growing sectors in electrical engineering, and PLC programming is the core skill companies seek.
What was mastered:
Career impact: Without this training, months of on-the-job learning would have been necessary before becoming productive. Instead, the ability to write and modify PLC programs independently from day one accelerated career growth significantly.
At Sunrise Automation, PLC programming work happens daily on systems controlling molding machines, laser cutting equipment, and various automated manufacturing processes. The skills learned at ABC Trainings directly translated to job responsibilities.
Within months of completing the ABC Trainings courses, employment was secured at Sunrise Automation in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar as a fresher automation engineer. The company specializes in electrical panel designing and PLC programming—exactly matching the skills gained.
Current responsibilities include:
After three months in the role, the confidence and skills continue growing. But the foundation came from those 2-3 months at ABC Trainings that transformed confusion into career clarity.
Stay in your field. Don't abandon electrical engineering for IT just because it seems trendy. Here's why:
The IT trap: Everyone can switch to IT—mechanical engineers, civil engineers, electrical engineers. This abundance means companies easily replace IT workers, creating job insecurity despite higher starting salaries.
Your electrical engineering advantage: Specialized skills in automation, panel design, and electrical systems create career security. When you become an expert, companies need to retain you because your knowledge isn't easily replaceable.
The six-year investment: Whether you completed a four-year bachelor's degree or six years including diploma, that's deep specialization. Abandoning it to start over in IT wastes your educational investment.
ABC Trainings prepared students with software skills, but electrical engineers also need hands-on capabilities:
These practical skills combined with software proficiency make you a complete electrical engineering professional that companies actively recruit.
Finding electrical engineering jobs requires strategy. Campus placements are ideal, but if those don't work out, use LinkedIn strategically:
The smart search method: Instead of searching for generic "jobs," search for specific posts like "fresher automation engineer" and filter by posts rather than job listings. This reveals companies actively hiring with complete information including salaries, contact details, and company information.
This targeted approach cuts through the noise of fake or outdated job listings and connects you directly with genuine opportunities.
A crucial lesson learned: don't chase paid internships at the cost of quality learning. Paid internships often assign repetitive work unrelated to your engineering specialization. Meanwhile, unpaid internships at quality companies provide exposure to industry practices, technologies, and professional networks that accelerate your career.
The six-month mandatory internship represents prime learning time. Companies offering genuine technical exposure create far more career value than those paying stipends for peripheral work. Optimize for experience early in your career—it compounds into higher compensation later.

The government job craze affects many electrical engineering graduates. Should you prepare for government exams or pursue private sector opportunities?
The strategic answer: If your financial situation allows extended exam preparation without immediate income pressure, certainly try for government positions. They offer stability and benefits.
However, if family circumstances require earning potential immediately, private sector employment is necessary. Don't waste years preparing for uncertain outcomes without developing backup employability.
The best approach: Build private sector skills through courses at ABC Trainings while simultaneously preparing for government exams. This ensures you're never left without options regardless of exam outcomes.
Success in electrical engineering requires consistency. Students who constantly wonder if they should switch to IT, then consider government jobs, then explore management roles waste mental energy and time that could build expertise.
Meanwhile, those who commit to electrical engineering, identify skill gaps, take relevant courses at institutions like ABC Trainings, and build experience systematically achieve career success faster.
Your career strategy should be:
ABC Trainings supports you at every step of this journey.
The timeline matters. In just 2-3 months of focused training at ABC Trainings, a confused electrical engineering graduate became an employable automation engineer with offers from companies.
