While supplies last, two-year agreement required. Even though some out-of-work coal miners have been called back to work in recent weeks, there are still thousands in our region looking for jobs. In a 12-week program starting soon on the Hager Hill Campus of Big Sandy Community and Technical College, we'll prepare some of them for a new career as a lineman with extensive training in fiber optics. We'll take 50 to 20 students at a time to prepare for work in the utilities industry, the fiber optics and broadband industry, or transportation. Built within that certification through linemen is not only CDL Class A, we have four certifications from the Fiber Optics Association. We also have OSHA, basic CPR, life support. Officials at Big Sandy are preparing for broadband's arrival into eastern Kentucky and this program will give graduates skill sets that employers will be looking for. The lineman program itself prepares you for a multiple cross-sector of jobs, but fiber optics and broadband certainly businesses can grow once we have the fiber installed to the business and to the home. Chinese says Big Sandy's plan is to stay ahead of the game and prepare students for jobs soon to be in high demand. People don't really, they don't realize the magnitude of the work that is involved in building a network that truly doesn't exist yet in eastern Kentucky. We're here to do that. We're here to help facilitate that network. For more information on the lineman program, contact Danny Tonkin at the number on your screen. Reporting in Pikeville for EKB News, I'm Shannon Deskins.
