Alex Caba Earns Journeyman Certification

Bon Homme Yankton Electric Lineman Alex Caba recently completed the Lineworker Certification Program through Norfolk’s Northwest Lineman College. Completion of the program certifies Caba as a journeyman lineworker.

A major component of finishing the program is time. Caba had to complete 8,000 hours of on-the-job training. He also had to pass 40 different tests as part of the apprenticeship. The tests cover a variety of topics including safety, transformer connections, mapping, and other topics like line construction and line work.

Caba began working for Bon Homme Yankton Electric in 2019. Prior to that he attended line school at Mitchell Tech and worked at B-Y Electric as summer help for two summers.
