Energy Transmission and Distribution Workers

You can pursue your interest in subjects related to these occupations by taking courses such as physics and drafting. Shop courses can provide you with an opportunity to work with electrical and mechanical devices and to develop skills in schematic drawing. Some power plants have visitors' centers where the public is allowed to observe some of the plant operations and to learn how electricity is generated and distributed to consumers.
