I CAN NOT ATTEST TO THE ACCURACY OR AUTHENTICY OF THIS INFORMATION BUT IT CAME ACROSS MY DESK SO I WANT TO PASS IT ON.ComEd has commissioned the Dawson Skill Center to train electrical line men.
Com Ed has a severe shortage and wants Dawson to train candidates so they can have a pool to draw from. One must apply to get into the education program at Dawson.
It starts this August, so they must jump on it. Applicants have to call 773-451-2100 to get an application.
It's a 10-month program, you don't need any college and either Com Ed or one of its subsidiaries will hire you after successful completion of the program.You must be comfortable with heights, read and write at the 10th grade level, and pass a drug and criminal background check to get into the program. After successful completion and hiring, you start with $65,000 yr and elevate within 6 -8 months up to S100,000 with overtime. Pass this to your proteges and to your church mentors. They are specifically looking for diversity-- And where can you make $100,000 a year with no college degree? Heck, I have three degrees and I don't make 6- figures!!! So, pass this on -- to men and women!!!! A great opportunity-- Good Luck!!!!

Dawson Tech Institute Overhead Lineman Student for Comed Killed in horrible accident
A lineman student in Chicago, IL died shortly after getting hit with approximately 7,200 volts during training. The student, identified as Chris Jenkins, was electrocuted while handling a primary line under direct instructions of Comed Safety Supervisor, Sam "Safety Sam" Ross, according to a Chicago Police report.
Jenkins, 32, worked as a supervisor at Target, Inc., with hopes of seeking full More.. time employment with a local electric utility once he completed training at Dawson Technical Institute. According to Rick Stofield, 55, a fellow student at Dawson Tech whose responsibility is to assist linemen students, Jenkins was not wearing his hot gloves while working on the pole. Hot gloves are what electricians and linemen use to protect themselves from power lines. The report also states that Jenkins was not properly instructed by Sam Ross about the rule on the same day he was electrocuted.
Towards the end of their shift, Stofield said, he noticed Jenkins tying off a “mule tape” to the fiber optic line. When Jenkins raised his right hand, in an attempt to tighten or take up slack from what he was doing, Stofield saw a blue electric arc appear from a live wire and hit Jenkins' right hand. Jenkins held his chest making his co-workers lower the bucket he was in. They then began to perform CPR on him. They found later that his hot gloves were in the bucket with him.
Shortly after that, Jenkins was taken to Advocate Trinity Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Jenkins leaves behind a wife and 3 children, one child with special needs. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is investigating the matter. Comed nor Dawson Tech is not commenting on the cause of death. Because there was no foul play and the family did not request an autopsy, the body was released to a funeral home and will not be examined by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. Less..
