Job Outlook for Custodian
Powered by Glassdoor Economic ResearchJobs for custodians are growing moderately and do not require formal education as many of the responsibilities can be learned on the job. Most custodians work indoors and outside of normal business hours as cleaning generally takes place when buildings are empty. Job seekers interested in custodial roles should be comfortable working with varying cleaning tools and products as well as working in a sometimes dirty environment. With additional training and experience, custodians can grow into a management position that requires overseeing cleaning staff and duties.
