AMERICUS – South Georgia Technical College Career Services recently conducted mock interviews with students in the college’s Electrical Line worker Apprentice program. By participating in mock interviews, the students learn how to answer different questions, develop interview strategies, improve communication skills and reduce the stress before an actual job interview.

Students were asked in-depth questions to gain insight into their skills and knowledge regarding common line worker duties. Lillie Ann Winn, Program Administrator for Adult Education at SGTC, and Johnathan Hobgood, Recruiter for Human Resources with Crisp Regional Health Systems, assisted Carter with the mock interviews.

The South Georgia Technical College Electrical Line Worker Apprentice program prepares students to work as journeyman line workers. As graduates from the program gain experience, they will find numerous opportunities for advancement.

Line workers travel extensively working to restore electrical service after natural disasters and other emergency situations. The SGTC Electrical Line Worker Apprentice program prepares students to observe safety regulations and protect themselves and others while working in often difficult conditions. The work is challenging, but also rewarding.
