According to data from the Romanian Ministry of Education, more and more young people dream of becoming car mechanics. From 2020 until last year, the number of graduates from specialized high schools increased by 10%. During the same period, 66% more electricians completed their studies. But there is a decrease in interest in the qualification of locksmith and plumber.
However, employers say they lack qualified staff and try to attract young people with all sorts of competitions and courses.

According to an online recruitment platform, the average net salary for a car mechanic is 4,200 lei, while an electrician earns an average of 4,700 lei.
