Don't miss out on this great opportunity to prepare your team for the upcoming 2016 APPA Lineworker Rodeo in Shakopee, Minnesota. The APPA Lineworker Rodeo brings public power lineworkers from all over the United States to demonstrate their skills and knowledge in the craft of a lineworker.

At the Rodeo, jourmeyman and apprentice lineworkers can compete for professional recognition, attend training courses and practice essential safety skills. Furthermore, attendees will have a unique opportunity to connect with and learn from the nationwide community of lineworker professionals.

Topics to be covered at this clinic are as follows:

Tools and Equipment
Preparing and Strategizing
What to Expect
Safe Working Practices
General Rules
Teamwork
2015 Rodeo Discussion

All journeyman events compete with a three-man team. An apprentice can compete with the journeyman, but must remain as their ground man.

All apprentice events compete as individuals.
