Kewaskum High School – Class of 2024
This fall Justin T. is entering Moraine Park’s Electrical Power Distribution (EPD) one-year technical diploma. A career often referred to as a lineman, most of us recognize their work as they are hoisted in a bucket truck or suspended from electrical poles repairing and replacing damaged lines.
Inspired by his brother, Kyle, and following in his footsteps, Justin knew MPTC’s program was the right direction to achieve his career goals and financial independence. He also knew that to stay on track, he had to be a good planner and apply early, as MPTC’s program has a waiting list that can be a year or longer. Completing his college admissions in April of his junior year ensured that he’d start in fall after high school graduation.
Since he was well into the planning stages, he decided to take advantage of the Start College Now program his last semester at Kewaskum High School. He completed five of the 17 required classes. “I was excited to take classes at MPTC during my senior year of high school. This offered me the opportunity to get a jump start on college.”
In addition to getting his initial courses paid for through Start College Now, Justin was the recipient of the Technical Excellence award through his high school.
“Obtaining the scholarship and having the opportunity to earn credits in high school has given me a leg up on achieving my career goals. My goal is to become an aerial lineman in Montana where I could also pursue my love of snowboarding and snowmobiling.”
We wish you a successful year and hope you find your dream job in Montana!
FACT: Moraine Park’s EPD program is consistently one of the top ten highest paying careers for our new grads. Our 2023 graduates reported a median salary of $83,194.
