Associate in Applied Science in High Voltage Line Technician

Be the One They Call After the Storm

Apply

OSUIT’s program training future high voltage line technicians utilizes the university’s outdoor lab, the latest technology and a hands-on instructional approach to teach everything from pole climbing to substation operations to electrical and transformer theory.

In addition to instruction on campus, students can also take advantage of paid internships to gain additional first-hand knowledge and experience, some even participating in helping restore power to areas devastated by storms.

With an Associate in Applied Science in High Voltage Line Technician, graduates begin work as a power line technician and advance to foremen, job superintendents, labor leaders, power line estimators and contractors. These are careers not many people can undertake and the need for these positions is expected to only increase.
