About the Program
York Technical College has partnered with utility companies and contractors in North and South Carolina to offer a comprehensive training program that will prepare candidates for entry-level Line Work positions.
The nine week Entry Level Line Worker Certificate Program includes classroom, lab, and field instruction in pole climbing, overhead and underground line installation. Students will be assessed throughout the training in hands-on skill performance, relevant subject area knowledge, and safety compliance.
Students enrolled in the program will also receive training in CPR/First Aid, 10 hour OSHA, and other safety trainings such as Pole Top Rescue, Truck Operator Safety, Work Zone, and Trenching.
Graduates will be prepared for entry-level employment with utility and cable companies, and will be provided assistance with resume preparation and interviewing skills. Employers are invited to recruit and interview graduating students through on campus visits and presentations as scheduled with the Line Worker training staff.
