We Offer Specialized Training Opportunities for Members

Utility employees have specialized jobs that require unique training. FMPA’s training programs are designed to fit the needs of its members and provide resources at an affordable cost.

Lineworker Safety Program

Linework can be hazardous, so it is essential for electric utilities to have a safety program. FMPA has a Lineworker Safety Program that provides high-quality safety meetings at an affordable price for utilities of all sizes. FMPA contracts for regular safety meetings delivered on location at FMPA’s participating member. The safety meetings are held 10 times per year to reinforce safe working practices and share best practices.

Lineworker Training

FMPA offers access to vocational training programs for developing highly skilled lineworkers. The multi-year programs for both Apprentice and Advanced lineworkers provides self-study modules and in-person, hand-on learning opportunities at locations in Florida. The specialized programs are designed to help develop lineworkers throughout their careers.

FMPA provides affordable and high-quality training tailored to members’ needs.
