CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
THE AMERICAN LINEMAN
While at NLC, SVP of Research & Development Alan Drew (retired) authored The American Lineman, considered by many to be the finest historical book about linemen ever written. Visit theamericanlineman.com to learn more.
SPANNING THE STRAIT
NLC has been developing curriculum since 1998 and has developed an extensive and modern curriculum supporting the industries we serve.
A companion to The American Lineman, Alan Drew’s Spanning the Strait details the story of one of the most significant projects in the history of the power industry: the crossing of the Carquinez Strait.
THE “MAROONS”
OX BLOCK
NLC training specialists wear special maroon shirts that only they can wear—they are not available for sale. Often referred to as “The Spine of the Company,” these experienced tradesmen are trained in sound teaching and training methodologies.
NLC graduate and NLC Idaho Campus President Mark Groves invented the OX Block®, revolutionizing rigging in the power industry. It is manufactured via license by Buckingham Manufacturing. Videos featuring the OX Block can be found on YouTube.
