Rocky Mountain Lineman School Graduates 23!
/Congratulations to RMLS Fall 2013 Graduates!
This week, twenty-three students graduate from the Trinidad State Junior College’s Rocky Mountain Lineman School. They are the 11th class to graduate from the fifteen week program since its inception in 2008. RMLS offers students both certificate and associate degree options. Objectives of the programs are to build a productive and sustainable workforce of craft professionals. The curriculum provides a broad based educational experience by addressing the fundamental aspects of Power Line work, electrical theory, climbing techniques, aerial framing, rigging and maintaining underground residential distribution service equipment. Additionally, the program strives to provide graduates with the skills necessary to develop safe work habits and an understanding of power line safety guidelines and principles, helping students understand Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) rules and regulations for power line workers.
Included in their curriculum, RMLS utilizes the first year of the Merchant Job Training and Safety Program. When graduates are hired and begin their apprenticeships within the industry, they receive full credit toward related classroom instruction and can enroll directly into the second year of the Merchant Program.
