Equal Employment Opportunity
KPUB actively promotes equal-opportunity employment and equal pay on the basis of merit and ability to perform work. Equal opportunity will be extended to all qualified employees and applicants for employment regardless of race, color religion, national origin, sex, pregnancy, age, or disability.
E-Verify
U.S. law requires companies to employ only individuals who may legally work in the United States, either as U.S. citizens or foreign citizens who have the necessary authorization. KPUB participates in E-Verify, a U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services internet system that helps businesses determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the U.S.
Apprenticeship Program
At KPUB, we recognize the vital role utilities play in developing the next generation of skilled workers through robust apprenticeship programs. Our own KPUB Apprenticeship Program is officially recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor and undergoes regular audits to ensure it meets the highest standards of compliance and integrity.
To become a Journeyman Lineman, apprentices and trainees must complete 8,000 hours of on-the-job training along with 144 hours of independent coursework. Upon successful completion, graduates earn a certificate of completion and a nationally recognized certification that stays with them throughout their careers.
This is a paid program that emphasizes both hands-on experience and continued education. Apprentices work closely with experienced Journeymen in the field—learning directly from seasoned professionals who serve not only as coworkers but also as coaches, mentors, and teachers. Apprentices gain experience across various areas of the utility industry, including substations and power line operations.
Much of our linemen’s continued success is a testament to the exceptional training and guidance they receive from our Journeymen. Since 2006, 27 apprentices have successfully completed KPUB’s apprenticeship program and received their Department of Labor certifications.
We are incredibly proud of our dedicated linemen, whose commitment and expertise ensure our community receives safe, reliable power—day in and day out.
