  • Downbeach

The Atlantic County Workforce Development Board, in collaboration with the Atlantic Cape Community College, is once again offering the opportunity to participate in the Atlantic City Electric Quick Path to Energy Program. The program offers career and technical education training designed to introduce students to career pathways within the utility industry. It also serves as a direct solution to meeting the utility industry's immediate need for skilled workers.

The classes will include an introduction to jobs in the utility industry, a construction math class that prepares students for the Construction and Skills Trade exam and certification. Students who successfully pass the CAST test, will qualify for the Line School that offers skill practice in preparation for the physical abilities test.

At the end of the program, successful participants may have the opportunity to complete the pre-employment process, including an interview with ACE or another industry-leading company in the utility industry.
