Blake McVicker Completes Merchant Job Training

Blake McVicker (pictured on right), an employee with Lane-Scott Electric Cooperative, has successfully completed one of the world’s most comprehensive training programs for power line personnel. The Merchant Job Training and Safety Program is administered to line personnel in more than 40 states throughout the United States.

Blake and the support staff at Lane-Scott Electric can be proud of their accomplishment. Each utility has an acting Training Coordinator assisting their trainees by administering “closed book” testing. The coordinators manage their own people throughout the training process from rules set by the MJTS and the statewide association.

Congratulations to Blake, who can look forward to a very rewarding lifelong occupation.
