VETERANS TO POWER LINEMEN | NICK LAVERY (ARMY GREEN BERET) INTERVIEWS QUANTA LAZY Q TRAINING CENTER

"Once a Lineman, Always a Lineman."
April 18th is National Lineman Appreciation Day. #thankalineman
The Callout Podcast’s mission is to serve the less than 1% who volunteer to protect & serve our country!
We’re fulfilling this mission by directly connecting our Veterans with the many rewarding lucrative career paths in the power utility industry…particularly Linework. Power Linemen are the soldiers who serve our country, communities & protect the grid.
Most Veterans in Linework, or the power utility industry, stumbled into it. Protecting our power grid is matter of national security. It’s essential we bring as many Veterans into the power industry, as quickly as possible. It’s essential for our industry & for the Veterans. We need their skill sets to meet the growing demands of the energy sector.
It’s equally important we promote these lucrative & rewarding career opportunities in the Veteran community. These careers provide hope, financial stability, community, as well as support mental health.
Our Veterans want a mission, to serve & camaraderie. IN POWER UTLITY... THEY FIND IT!
