FCC LINEMAN RODEO

4/15/24

On Saturday the Frontier Community College Lineman Rodeo will take place starting at 9am.  The event will give an opportunity for the Electrical Distribution Systems (EDS) students to showcase what they have learned through friendly competition.  Judged events include, egg climb, fuse swap, hurt man rescue, speed climb, and underslung-switch open & close.

Attending the event is a great chance for anyone interested in the EDS program to see things firsthand and to ask questions and learn more.  Frontier Community College combines classroom lectures with extensive outdoor training to prepare you for wire maintenance, hurt man rescue, cross arm construction, and more.  Registration is now open for the Fall 2024 semester, and enrollment is limited, so don’t miss your chance to join the EDS program.

The rodeo will take place outside just north of the Workforce Development Center.  So, bring your lawn chair, there will be free hot dogs, bbq, and popcorn, and see the EDS students climb their way to the top.
