Information
Pre-lineworker program consists of both credit and non-credit classes. It can be entered after completing the Energy Technician Certificate by taking following courses:
- Lineworker Climbing Clinics (2)
- Lineworker Physical Fitness
Once students complete the Energy Technician Certificate, they will need to take the Energy Industry Fundamentals class, a hand/power tool class and an additional fitness class. After those, they would attend two climbing clinics (arranged by GRCC), and then they will be invited to the lineman orientation at Consumers Energy. If they successfully complete that, Consumers will invite them to their 11-week climbing/lineman program.
