The Blue Ridge Board of Directors was pleased to visit the SVCC Occupational/Technical Center in early March. After our Board meeting, we toured the center and had the opportunity to talk with students in the Power Line Worker Training Class. It was a pleasure to see so many students working hard to learn the skills to keep the lights on. We look forward to seeing these same students become line workers in the BRPA member communities.
