Newkirk Electric teamed up with Kalamazoo Valley Community College (KVCC) to launch a cell tower technician academy. The program will launch next month at KVCC. Newkirk donated a cell tower to the program for training purposes.
Next month, Kalamazoo Valley Community College will start a new Cell Tower Technician Academy at its Groves Campus. The six-week program in cooperation with Muskegon-based Newkirk Electric will train students to build and maintain cell phone towers. Newkirk saw this as a way to provide fundamental training for upcoming workers before they go to work in the field. Newkirk offers its employees a wide range of training on technical skills and safety as well.
