LaGrange County REMC lineman Atticus Klopfenstein was one of 30 lineworkers who graduated recently from Indiana Electric Cooperatives’ apprenticeship program, Rural Electric Apprenticeship Program (REAP).

REAP is a four-year program that professionally trains apprentice lineworkers from across Indiana. Graduates complete 576 hours of classroom-related study and 8,000 hours of on-the-job training at their electric cooperative. Cooperative apprentices also complete four additional classes through Ivy Tech Community College. Upon completion of the program, cooperative graduates earn an Associate of Applied Science degree and a journeyman lineman certificate.

Congratulations, Atticus, on completing the program!
