WHAT OUR GRADS SAY
Jared
I didn't know anyone in the the power line trade and felt a little lost on how to get started. My pre-apprenticeship was a solid experience. I walked away with a solid resume, good prep and knew exactly which utilities I should target.
Jay
I didn't really get how all the JATC stuff worked and how I should get started. I wanted a high paying powerline job. This program was like having a 30 year vet over my shoulder.
