PROGRAM OVERVIEW
ABOUT THE ULP
The Utility Lineworker Program is a 13-week pre-apprenticeship program for students who have secured employment as electric lineworkers with a partnering company in the power delivery industry.
Throughout Northwest Lineman College’s history, utilities have enjoyed higher post-apprenticeship retention rates and return-oninvestments by recruiting candidates from their service territories and sending them to Northwest Lineman College for pre-apprentice training. In addition, the graduates may receive advanced standing in their employers’ apprentice programs upon successful completion of the Utility Lineworker Program.
When a participating company’s pre-apprentice shows up to the first day of training at NLC, we know that individual has embraced his or her company’s brand by donning the company-issued personal protective equipment and FR-rated clothing. We know that individual is prepared to represent the brand throughout the term. In fact, NLC has a specially prepared curriculum to help that employee exhibit the professionalism and adhere to the company’s mission and values. This, and more, is reflected in the program objective.
