Apprentice Lineman 5th Class

By McKayla Kiernan, Communication Specialist

National Apprenticeship week is November 17-23, 2024. Although we don’t need a designated week to appreciate our amazing apprentices, we would like to spotlight one of our new apprentices who is just starting his career as a lineworker here at Choptank Electric Co-op.

Meet Hunter Rodgers, an Apprentice Lineman at Choptank Electric. Hunter graduated from the Powerline Worker Pre-Apprenticeship program through Wor-Wic Community College and began working at Choptank on June 10, 2024. 

Although only five months into his career here at Choptank, Hunter already has a passion for serving our members. He describes being motivated by his wonderful “co-op family” at the Cambridge district, his family, his friends and keeping the lights on for our members. 

According to Curtis Short, Manager of District Operations in Cambridge, “Hunter has been a great addition to our team. The Pre-Apprentice program provided a good head start for his career. We look forward to helping him progress through his Apprenticeship to become a Journeyman.”
Hunter is looking forward to learning as much as he can in the lineworker field while having a long, prosperous career serving Choptank’s members.
