"Transitioning out of the military and back to the civilian workforce can be challenging, but with the help of SLTC staff and the training they provide at the school, they made my shift smooth because it allowed me to be confident and prepared for a career in linework when my enlistment comes to an end."

"One thing that stuck out to me about SLTC was how team-oriented it was, much like the military. The students, instructors, and staff were all very female and veteran-friendly which made me feel comfortable during my training."

"Everyone from the staff to the students wants you to succeed. The respect I received from everyone from day one was amazing. Hands down the best decision I’ve made second to serving in the United States Marine Corps.”

"I would highly recommend, for all veterans, getting into line work. It isn’t easy but neither was the Military (Semper Fi). If you're looking to get a foot in the Power industry I give the school and staff a 10-10!"

Most of our graduates will take jobs with companies that will require them to travel or relocate. However, after experience is gained in the industry you will have more opportunities to get closer to home.

We do not guarantee a job, but we do offer placement assistance. Many of our graduates have multiple job offers upon completion of the program. Placement depends largely on a person’s willingness to travel or relocate.

  • Line crews across the country are aging, and it's essential to groom their replacements. Labor stats indicate the demand for linemen is expected to grow by 9 percent through 2022.

  • Daily responsibilities of a Lineman might include digging trenches to install underground lines, installing meters, climbing poles to repair overhead lines or inspecting power lines for possible repair or replacement.
