Power Bank serves electricians by intervening in their working and spare time practice scenarios through digital tools. With in- depth learning by practicing, it helps electricians overcome their career bottlenecks and gain a clear career path. At the same time, it helps companies to develop their talent effectively. More workers would adapt to the digital transformation and are willing to stay as electricians with the ability and conviction to get the job done.
