Four scholarships awarded to hopeful linemen

The Lineman Training program at Somerset Community College (SCC) in Kentucky has an expansive indoor training facility and offers an eight-week apprentice program that prepares students for entry-level work in the electrical infrastructure industry. 

While any student attending a training program like SCC’s will get a leg up upon entering the line trade, Kentucky’s Touchstone Energy Cooperative recently awarded four students with $2,000 scholarships to help them out even more. The lucky recipients ranged from recent high school graduates to a man switching industries, but they were all looking for the same thing: a stable, rewarding, and challenging career.
