Dear Parent and Student:
Lakeland Electric is a proud partner with the Polk County School
Board in creating the Energy Academy program at Traviss Career
Center.
Lakeland Electric offers opportunities in a variety of technical
positions in Production (generating plants), Delivery (wires, poles,
substations), Customer Service (meter reading, call center), and
more. These are good solid careers for which students can apply
following graduation. We offer competitive wages, excellent benefits
and pride of work in these technical careers. There are also many
opportunities to grow and develop for future leadership positions.
Lakeland Electric is continually looking for qualified applicants. The
goal of developing this Energy Academy is to help students prepare
for positions while they’re still in high school. This develops a
pipeline of qualified applicants for the utility industry. In addition,
this Academy will provide students with an excellent foundation to
compete for a variety of careers in other trades and industries such as
construction and manufacturing.
Students in the Lakeland Electric Energy Academy will be exposed
to the electric utility industry structure, processes and terminology.
In addition, they will gain a solid understanding of industrial
electricity. Students graduating from the Lakeland Electric Energy
Academy will have key insights into the many entry-level positions
throughout the utility.
Lakeland Electric’s commitment to the Energy Academy at Traviss
Career Center is strong. This program is important for Lakeland
Electric and the surrounding communities. Not only will it provide
