TCTC Gets Lineworker training Program Grant from Duke Energy

The SC Technical College System Foundation awarded Tri-County Technical College a second year of funding from a $1 million Duke Energy grant to expand its power lineworker training program to meet workforce demands. The 12-week power lineworker training program through the College’s Corporate and Community Education Division offers training on how to operate a bucket truck, along with pole climbing, pole top rescue, naming material, demo digging and setting poles, hanging insulators, switching and underground work. Since last fall the entire first graduating class of the program gained employment in the industry. Sixty percent of the February 2020 class received employment offers before completing the program.
