Electrical Lineworker Program Interest Form

 

Please use this form to express your interest in applying for St. Petersburg College's "Electrical Lineworker Program".  You MUST complete this form to indicate your interest and so that we can add you to our contact list to invite you to upcoming MANDATORY Boot Camps for entrance into the program.

Right now, our MAIN funding source (CareerSource Pinellas WIOA Funding) is for Pinellas County residents.  If you are a resident OUTSIDE of Pinellas County, you will most likely need to SELF-PAY ($7,500) or enroll in a payment plan.  In some outside counties, you might be able to work with your local CareerSource office to see if they will approve you for WIOA Funding to take our class.
