ABOUT NLC

NLC is an educational institution that trains workers for successful careers in the electric, telecom, and natural gas industries.

NLC offers an entry-level career program for electrical and telecommunications linework.

We also provide apprentice and journey-level training for the electric utility industry. Hundreds of power and construction companies throughout the United States (as shown on the map on the following page), and even internationally, use these programs. NLC has designed and built training centers in

Kabul, Afghanistan, and Tanzania, Africa. (For Africa, curriculum was developed in English and Swahili—a meaningful project that helped Tanzanians realize rural electrification.)

Major industry manufacturers, in their never-ending quest to improve safety and reliability, look to NLC for training and product advice as well. In fact, these relationships led to NLC’s development of the OX Block®—a remarkable invention by

NLC’s positive influence in the industries we serve is the result of continual focus on improvement. The NLC approach has always been to do what is best for its students. In the words of founder Aaron Howell, “The decisions we make influence our trainees and the industries, and must always be positive.”
