USIC's Career & Technical Education program provides high school seniors and eligible adults a path to a career in the growing damage prevention industry. Students who complete the course are fully trained and qualified to begin working as a utility locator for USIC or within the industry immediately after graduating.
Taught by USIC instructors, the program incorporates classroom instruction, simulated locating with state-of-the-art virtual reality technology, and hands-on field training. Students can qualify to begin working part-time for USIC prior to graduating and receive a work truck for performing the important job of protecting critical infrastructure and their communities.
USIC currently partners with eight vocational education institutions in Indiana, New York, and Oklahoma and plans to expand the program to high-demand markets throughout its nationwide operating network.
