Lineworker

Minnesota West Community and Technical College, a public institution in Granite Falls, MN, offers a Lineworker certificate at the one- to two-year credential level. The program provides foundational training in the installation and maintenance of electrical power distribution lines, safety procedures, equipment operation, and utility system fundamentals.

Classified within the electrical and power transmission installation field (CIP 46.0303), this program is offered alongside a longer Lineworker certificate and other technical programs at Minnesota West, including Electrician, Automation Engineer Technology/Technician, Energy Systems Technology/Technician, Cosmetology, and Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse Training. This shorter credential serves as an entry point for students pursuing careers in electric utility line work.
