I have to side with Greg (gfretwell) here.
The most important thing that this young fella will need to look out for in his first year, is his own safety.
Get him a good pair of Cow-hide Gloves, decent Ear-protectors and a good pair of Safety Glasses (not them rubbish $0.50 Goggles)
When I first started my time as an Electrician, I was given a Nice pair of Tinted Safety Glasses for Xmas, I wear them all the time and I still have the same pair.
Good Quality costs nothing, especially when you could lose an eye and you can't buy another one of them.
We are all learning now that working without Ear Protection get's you nowhere, I have a father that has Tinnitus.
Let's try and break the cycle, eh?.
BTW, slorch, thanks for taking an interest in your nephews' future, I can tell you, it will be a rewarding one. [Linked Image]
Oh and by the way, the biggest gift to him, is the one that can't be bought, encouragement, support and help with nutting out equations, when the pieces don't seem to fit!.
