On the morning of March 24, Randolph EMC lineworkers visited Donna Lee Loflin Elementary in Asheboro for the school’s career day. Journeyman Lineman Kevin Loflin and Apprentice Lineman Chris Ingold explained the responsibilities of an electrical utility worker and the tasks they perform on any given day.
The students in the elementary school enjoyed learning about the functions of the bucket truck and trying on the flame-resistant gloves that lineworkers wear on the job. Randolph EMC employees encouraged the students to think about their future—especially the stable and rewarding job of keeping the lights on for rural North Carolina.
Kevin Loflin helps children try on rubber gloves, which protect lineworkers from electrical shock.
Kevin Loflin and Chris Ingold keep the students entertained while teaching them about the career of a lineworker.
