A career as an electrical lineworker offers men and women the prospect of good wages, dependable and often very strong job demand, and an opportunity to work in any of nearly 3,100 public utilities across the United States.

BSC’s program is designed to educate students to become skilled apprentice lineworkers. Instruction time is divided between classroom study and indoor and outdoor laboratory work.

Classes are held and skills practiced at the electrical lineworker program’s facilities north of Mandan. This includes twenty acres of land for outside training, and inside laboratories and classrooms. Students also have access to all student facilities at the BSC Campus.

Students are required to take a two-week class, Introduction to Climbing Techniques, offered in the summer before they will be allowed to enter the Lineworker program in the fall. The class will be offered for three credits. Introduction to Climbing will provide students practice in pole climbing in an effort to increase familiarity and security with climbing experiences.

Enrollment: A class of 54 students is enrolled once each year in late August. View the application process, requirements and limited enrollment program information at Admission to BSC in the BSC Catalog. A doctor's examination and approval is required after acceptance into this program.
