⚡️It’s National Lineworker Appreciation Day! ⚡️

Today we celebrate the hardworking lineworkers who power our communities—rain, shine, or storm.

A special shoutout to our incredible alumni who continue to keep the lights on and the world connected. Thank you for all you do! 🙌🔧🌟

Today we proudly join Edison Electric Institute, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and National Electrical Contractors Association - NECA in celebrating National Lineworker Appreciation Day!

💪 Grit. Strength. Determination.

At NWTC, our Gas Utility students take on a time-honored challenge: digging a 3' x 4' x 3' deep bell hole — by hand. That's over 2,500 lbs. of material moved with just hand tools!

For the past 30 years, every graduate has completed this physical and mental test — a rite of passage that builds the endurance and resilience needed for success in the field.

👷‍♂️ Real skills. Real training. Real industry preparation.

🚨 The Backhoe Classes are Concluding🚨

Our Gas Utility and Electrical Power Distribution Programs kick off June 9th! 💥

Students enrolled in these programs got hands-on seat time with the very equipment they’ll be using in the field — all while focusing on safety, operation, and maintenance.

👷‍♂️ Students are ready to get to work and dig into their future!
