Our Lineworker Academy Grads Are Saying:
“Each instructor brought a different skill and knowledge when it came to the electric power industry, adding up to 200 years of experience. Their patience and knowledge prepared us for the industry. Because of the TEEX Lineworker Academy, I was gainfully employed with the City of College Station the day after graduation. Now that TEEX has impacted my life, I can now go on to impact our community.” (B. Linnell, Class #002)
