Mid-November marked the end of the fall semester of line school at Lincoln Land Community College, facilitated by the Association of Illinois Electric Cooperatives’ (AIEC’s) safety department. Through the LLCC program and the Illinois Rural Electric Apprentice Program (IREAP), students and co-op employees received a crash course of hands-on linework training from climbing to overhead and underground electric distribution. Courses were taught by AIEC staff, retired and current lineworkers, and industry professionals. For more information, go to aiec.coop/departments/safety-and-training.
