Feedback About Electrical Training at Dawson

February 17th, 2010 by Shorty | Posted in Education | Comments

I posted information about the ComEd electrical training partnership with Dawson Skill Center on my Shorty In Da House blog.

Here is the most recent comment received:
Be cautious of this lineman program because not too many people are finding jobs. In most cases, you lose $6500.00 and are back where you started five months earlier. I don’t know of too many lineman jobs that are excited about your certificate from Dawson. In fact, most line jobs offer there own climbing course and instructions.”
