More than 50 people gathered at the Durham Technical Community College Northern Durham Center Friday to celebrate the 10th Electric Line Technician graduating cohort.
The Electric Line program started in Spring 2019 out of a partnership with Duke Energy that funded students to participate in the program at no cost, and which covers registration, tuition, fees, and equipment.
The most recent cohort started class on March 28 and the program lasted for 10 weeks. Students learned to climb poles, install equipment, safety codes and applications, overhead and underground electric line construction practices and more. Students also received their CDL permit by taking an online Saturday class for five weeks prior to the Electric Line class beginning.

Joshua Colindres, a Durham native and Durham Tech’s Student Government Association (SGA) 2024-2025 president, puts thought behind each word he speaks and action behind those words.
Colindres wanted to be engaged with Durham Tech’s campus, which led to his interest in SGA.
“It was an easy decision to get involved in the Durham Tech community,” Colindres said. “The culture on the campus promotes involvement and a genuine family feel. I wanted in.”
