Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits
Postsecondary education or four years of experience as an electroplating helper is required to enter the field. Electroplaters possess an interest in metals, chemicals, and electrical processes. They can mathematically calculate the correct proportions for solutions and mix the necessary solutions, which are often caustic and dangerous. If you are interested in this field, you should also be able to accurately perform mathematical calculations and be detail-oriented so that you can mix solutions correctly. You should be able to work on your own, without direct supervision, but also be willing to cooperate with coworkers when a project requires teamwork.
