HCTC Lineman Program helping former coal miner

Beverly, age 30, served in the military, and then worked at an underground coal mining for more than four years. He said he saw the layoffs coming, so he obtained an Emergency Medical Technician license and worked for the Perry County Ambulance Service.
He is glad he made the switch to becoming a lineman because of the job security and the benefits.
Beverly and his wife, Rachel, live in Bulan with their two young children.
