Through the Electric Distribution Technology program, students will learn the skills necessary to become linemen. The Electric Line Worker concentration is designed to provide the technical skills required for new utility workers. Students in these programs will be trained in a new state-of-the-art facility, complete with indoor and outdoor pole training sessions. Training also includes traditional academic instruction and internships. Technical classes will be held at the new Technology Center at the Berkeley Business Park located at 5550 Winchester Avenue in Martinsburg (off Route 11 South in the previous Corning Plant). General education courses for the program will be at the main Blue Ridge Community and Technical College campus.

Students seeking a fast-track to employment may enroll in the Electric Line Worker Certificate Program, which provides the fundamental skills required for employment in the electric utility field. Those seeking specific technical knowledge with a broader understanding of the electrical utility environment can pursue an Associate of Applied Science Degree. Both programs are taught by highly trained and credentialed faculty and include technical modules, hands-on laboratories, equipment training and paid internships.
