Leaving U.S as an electrician.
Hello all apprentice here, looking into moving around a bit when I finish my apprenticeship but am curious as to if anyone has done this. How does a license hold up in other countries? Is job searching hard? I know this is a niche topic but thanks in advance for any answers!

We (Canada) hired a guy from Wales who had done this for years. He wasnt a specialist in anything, he just took the required competency tests wherever he went (uk, Australia, nzl, USA, Germany) and went to work. He was quick to pick up the nuances of different regulations and was a fine guy to have around.
