⚡ Learning from the Pros! ⚡
Today, our 3rd Block Utility Line Worker students had an incredible opportunity to work alongside the experienced crew from Cullman Electric Cooperative (CEC)! Students helped pull several of our old climbing poles and replace them with new ones—gaining real-world experience in jobsite safety, teamwork, communication, equipment handling, pole removal and setting, and proper utility work procedures.
Experiences like this are what Career Tech is all about—taking skills learned in the classroom and putting them to work alongside industry professionals.
We are extremely thankful for our partnership with Cullman Electric Cooperative and for their continued investment in the next generation of utility line workers. CEC doesn’t just support our program—they get involved, share their expertise, and give our students opportunities to learn firsthand what it takes to succeed in this industry.
Thank you, CEC, for being an outstanding partner in preparing our students for the workforce! ⚡🦺

🦺 Hands-On Learning at CATA!
Today, our CATA Utility Line Worker students put their skills to work learning how to safely build scaffolding! Students practiced proper assembly, leveling, stability, safety procedures, communication, and problem-solving while working together to complete the task.
Building scaffolding takes more than technical skill—it takes teamwork, trust, and attention to detail. These students are gaining valuable hands-on experience and developing the skills needed for success in the workforce! 💪⚡
