The New Heights Scholarship Program connects students from underserved and underrepresented communities in Hamilton County to a viable pathway to prosperity. The New Heights Scholarship Program partnership is working to solve a two-pronged issue for our community. Employers are struggling to find a skilled lineworker workforce, and our students need the exposure, opportunity, and support to complete a path to thriving wage career pathways. Through this partnership, we have created clear, supported pathways with defined access points and supports to ensure that students can explore and connect to careers in the electrical and communications lineworker industries. The goal is for qualified candidates to receive high-quality preparation and enter a career with a local utility with at least 75 scholarship recipients hired into a thriving wage lineworker job by August 2025. Each partner agrees to promote the New Heights Scholarship Program within our community and schools, attend meetings of the partnership to assess progress toward goals, and provide strategic support for the work. Listed ate a few of the graduates that has sponsored. Travon Adams and Marii Terrell from the Electrical Lineman Program and then we have London Cross and Roy Miles from the Commnication Lineman Program. All of which have been job placed. This is our why!
