Went to school with a few guys from Colorado, both ended up at Colorado springs utilities!!!, We all attended Northeast Community College in Norfolk, Nebraska!!!
Go online to Northeast.com and check out the program. It's a two year program, hands on, with a 12week summer intern at a power company of your choosing!! Some of the classes are, math, Basic electricity I @ II , BE lab,
climbing, transformer theory (all hands on, not just classroom), computer labs, not to mention instuctors that have 25yrs + in the industry!!!
best time of my life, Fits in perfect with Dennis Merchant Program!
good luck!!!
