Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College hosts celebration for inaugural Lineman/CDL class
The Academy for Mine Training and Energy Technologies honors inaugural class
Williamson, WV— Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College invites the community to celebrate the inaugural Lineman/CDL class. The Academy for Mine Training and Energy Technologies will honor the eight students on Saturday, June 11 at 11 AM at the Academy (former Armory building in Williamson). During the celebration, the soon-to-be graduates will showcase what they have learned during the 16-week course.
“We are so proud of these students and what they have accomplished during their time at Southern,” said Charles Isaacs, Lineman Instructor at Southern.
Throughout the day, students will show off their skills in a hurt man rescue drill, an egg climb, and other line construction events.
“Not many can say they were part of the first-ever class, and we couldn’t ask for better people to join this ever-changing field of work,” said Jeff Trout, CDL Instructor at Southern. “We were blessed with this group.”
In July, this cohort of students will leave Southern with a Class–A Commercial Driver’s License, an Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) training card, and a lineman certification.
“I am thoroughly impressed with the students and faculty members of this program,” added Dr. David Lemmon, Dean of Professional and Technical Studies. “We have had overwhelming support from the College and community in regards to both the Lineman and CDL program and I can never express how grateful I am to see this long-awaited endeavor come to fruition. I am proud of these soon-to-be graduates and wish them the best in their future careers.”
Refreshments will be provided during the celebration. Please join Southern as we congratulate this group on their hard work and dedication.
