Lineman Apprenticeship Pre-Apprentice Assessment Workshop

Overview

Lineman Apprenticeship Pre-Apprentice Assessment Workshop is an intensive workshop designed to help managers learn whether an employee is suited for the demanding role of lineworker apprentice. Candidates are assessed for their ability to learn the various aspects of line work, especially climbing. Individual sessions focus on the hazards of electricity, grounding, rigging, hand lines, and aluminum and copper ties.

Participants stay physically and mentally busy for the entire six and a half days. In addition to classroom discussion and hands-on exercises, they are assigned homework and tested extensively.

At the end of the week, managers receive a written assessment of candidates’ potential to perform line work under stress, their capacity to learn, and how well they follow orders. Individuals who complete this course successfully will be eligible to receive credit toward TVPPA’s Linework Apprenticeship Climbing Lab.
