MBLP Hires Line School Graduates
The Marquette Board of Light and Power has hired seven graduates of the Midwest Skills Development Center’s Line Technician Training Program since its inception in 2003. The program enables local students to stay in the area and to pursue rewarding careers in the electric utility field. The MBLP in turn has been able to draw from well-qualified local candidates for its line electrician positions which are in high demand nationwide.
The utility supports the Program financially through scholarship opportunities for students who live within the utility’s service territory.
Pictured from left to right include: the program’s assistant instructor who is also a retired MBLP line electrician and the seven program graduates who are all employed in the utility’s Distribution Department.
