An electrical training expert discussed the psychological barriers for those returning to work after addiction recovery. Re-entering the workforce is difficult, and Charanjit Mannu, Director of Elec Training, explains why most employers fail before candidates get through the door. “The conversation around addiction, recovery and employment fails to recognise the internal psychological weight that these individuals are balancing. People going through and coming out of recovery services are dealing with feelings of shame, a fear of disclosure and feelings of reduced self-worth within the workplace.”

An electrical training expert has revealed that fitting a home EV charger could add as much as £8,000 to a property's value, drawing a direct comparison to the kind of uplift traditionally associated with adding an extra bathroom. Charanjit Mannu, Director at Elec Training, a specialist electrical training centre based in Wolverhampton, said demand for EV charging qualifications has surged as homeowners and electricians alike wake up to the financial case for domestic charging infrastructure.

An electrical expert has sent out a warning that thousands of British homeowners are living in homes that are non-compliant with electrical standards for their EV charging points. Many British homeowners are not aware that they could potentially face prosecution under Building Regulations for uncertified EV charging points being fitted to domestic homes. Charanjit Mannu, Director at Elec Training, a specialist electrical training centre in the West Midlands, says he has seen an increase in EV ownership has been met with an increase in unqualified installers fitting these charging points that should be governed by strict and robust legal requirements.
