The employment outlook will be moderate for Electronic service technicians (household and business equipment) (NOC 22311) in the Montérégie region for the 2023-2025 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

• Employment decline will lead to the loss of some positions.
• Several positions will become available due to retirements.
• There are a small number of unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation.

The growth of telework in various industries increased demand for the installation of computers or office equipment, particularly at the start of the pandemic, which has supported this profession. With this change now firmly in place, the demand will adjust downward, which could lead to a reduction in employment. However, there will still be a demand for maintaining all of these devices.

Moreover, this profession will benefit from advanced features being added to a range of household equipment. The demand for security features (alarm and video surveillance systems) is expected to remain stable or even increase. Lastly, the appeal of installing and maintaining automated systems (home automation) should support the demand for these workers.
