Services & Training
The loss of expertise due to the rising average
age of the workforce is putting power generation
reliability at risk. Senior-level employees are quickly
nearing retirement age, while young entrants into
the field are lacking the skills needed for immediate
productivity. Key challenges include:
• Aging workforce
• Retirement of institutional knowledge
• Evolving regulations
• Rapidly advancing technology
• Skills gap

addressing these challenges. We offer engineering
design and product solution sets that simplify
the process of selecting the right products for an
application. Our guarantees and warranties provide
assurances that selection decisions will
be supported.
Our ongoing innovations in electrical system
reliability, efficiency and safety are designed

Thomas & Betts offers product training, installation
training and certification, application support,
technical support, field engineering and onsite
troubleshooting to ensure successful plant
operation and maintenance.
