Sixteen new high voltage linemen graduated from the rigorous 17-week H-VOLT Academy training course at a commencement ceremony held Aug. 18 at UA-PTC Main Campus.

H-VOLT is a certified power line worker training program hosted by the UA-PTC Business and Industry Center that gives real-world, hands-on instruction and experience to aspiring electrical power line workers. The program is sponsored by numerous area electrical utility companies and cooperatives and is designed to provide them a quality workforce.
