LeCroy Tech Utility Line WorkerTraining Program

⚡ Another Great Week in the LeCroy Utility Line Worker Program! ⚡

We’re wrapping up the week with three more students reaching the top of our 70-foot pole! 💪🪜 Building the confidence to climb this monster takes determination, practice, and a willingness to push beyond your comfort zone. Great job, Ryder, Brody and Carson! Keep climbing! 👏

Our students have also been busy installing double cross arms and wrapping up the classroom portions of their Career Readiness Indicators (CRIs), covering everything from OSHA 10 to fiber optics. Up next, we’ll begin putting that knowledge into action with the hands-on portions of these credentials!

Next week, our juniors will begin First Aid, CPR, and AED training. These skills are essential in the linework industry, but they’re also valuable life-saving skills that everyone should know. ❤️‍🩹

Our mission goes beyond preparing students for just one career. We want to equip them with the knowledge, hands-on experience, industry-recognized credentials, and real-world skills they need to succeed in multiple career fields. Whether they pursue linework or another career path, we want our students to graduate ready to make a difference in the workforce and in their communities!

Proud of the progress these students are making every week! ⚡💪

Congratulations to Shawn Jones on his completion of Marine boot camp. Shawn is a 2026 Maplesville graduate and a completer in the Utility Lineman program at LeCroy Career Technical Center. Come see us Marine when you make it back home, we are super proud of you!

Our students have enjoyed this nice weather pattern change. Cooler temps makes it alot more fun to hang 30 foot off the ground.

Last week we began doing activities to get the students comfortable working at height. This included throwing balls and pulling ropes when at the top of the pole. This week seniors began climbing with the students to help walk them through the process of hanging cross arms and disassembling them. Today many of our students are working to do the same thing by themselves.

As we move forward throughout the year we will create different scenarios, compete in teams to become faster, and begin utilizing different pieces of equipment, as well as continue in our book work to learn the ins and out of the trade. This has been a great group thus far and we are looking forward to the many new things we have planned for the year. Check back for more updates.
