Join the Conversation With Industry Experts On August 25th at 1:00 p.m. ET
Utilities are facing a growing demand for skilled workers that maintain the high safety standards the industry requires. As training programs expand to prepare the next generation of utility professionals, many organizations are looking for practical ways to increase access to the hands-on experience needed before entering the field.
Join Brandon Wylie, Campus President at Northwest Lineman College (NLC), and Alan Limoges, Manager of Product Growth for Construction and Utilities at CM Labs as they discuss how NLC, part of Quanta, is preparing future utility workers, and where simulation complements traditional training methods. They’ll share their perspectives on scaling training programs, supporting instructor-led training, and helping trainees build skills before they begin working with live equipment.
You’ll Learn:
- How Northwest Lineman College is preparing the next generation of utility workers.
- Practical approaches to expanding training capacity while maintaining safety.
- Where simulation fits into a modern utility training program.
- Considerations for organizations evaluating simulation-based training.
Learn from experts in emergency response and simulation technology as we discuss strategies that maximize readiness to safeguard & restore critical infrastructure during emergencies.
This is a must-attend event for operations managers, utility leaders, and anyone involved in disaster response planning. We encourage you to forward this webinar to the relevant executive and training stakeholders on your team.
Time will be dedicated at the end of the discussion to answer live audience questions.
