Electric Utility Line Technician

Description

Electric utility line technicians install and repair poles, conductors, cables and equipment used in electrical power and distribution systems. They often work long hours to restore energy to homes and businesses during storms, identifying and repairing damaged equipment, poles and wire.

The program, which only starts in the summer, begins with a one-year certificate. You can then go on to get an associate's degree for transfer. The course is fine-tuned to real-world needs: two utility companies, Kansas City Power & Light and Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative, are on the MCC-BTC advisory board for course content.

Now accepting applications for the June 2013 class.
