Thinking of becoming an electrician but have no idea where to begin

Hello,

I am 23 and am needing a more stable career, I’ve heard great things about being an electrician and about BCIT so I’m thinking of going back to school, but I have no idea where to begin.

My math grade is definitely not up to snuff, i got a 56 in foundations so I assume I’d have to upgrade that before going but I’m not sure the best course of action.

I know BCIT does multiple intakes, when’s the best time to apply?

As a women I know there’s a lot of scholarship opportunities are there any good places to look and do I submit for them before or after I apply?

Any other info you think I should know would be greatly appreciated!!
