Canadian Valley Electric Cooperative (CVEC) invites high school students to apply for its upcoming Power Up Day, a hands-on learning experience designed to introduce students to the electric utility industry. Taking place on October 8, 2025, the event offers a unique opportunity to explore the role of a lineman and gain real-world insight into careers that keep our communities connected and energized.

“This event lets students see firsthand the important work our linemen do and understand the role of cooperatives in delivering reliable energy,” said Josh Holt, COO at CVEC. “We’re excited to offer this experience and inspire the next generation of energy professionals.”
