T&D PowerSkills is based upon an industry-accepted set of lineworker competencies designed to qualify a student’s skills from being an apprentice all the way to being a journeyman lineworker.

Crafted by experts and refined over years of experience, our established set of competencies ensures that lineworkers are equipped to handle the challenges of the field with confidence and efficiency.

Bridge the gap between knowledge and skill.
Each competency defines a task or skills that a journeyman lineworker should possess to be considered a master mechanic. Understanding a person’s knowledge and skills together on a particular topic is essential because it provides a holistic view of their expertise and competence. When considering a lineworker’s proficiency in a specific area, it’s not enough to focus solely on their theoretical knowledge or practical skills separately. Across the T&D PowerSkills curriculum, similar competencies are grouped together to form this common metric to assess both knowledge and skills.
