The certificate in Utility Construction-Gas is a training program developed in partnership with Memphis Light, Gas and Water to prepare students for a career in public utilities, specializing in natural gas. Because of the complexity of the job and related safety concerns, individuals must be knowledgeable of safety procedures, safe operation of gas components and systems, and power equipment. Students are normally employed by Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division (MLG&W) after the first class in the certificate program, Introduction to Utility Technology. In a typical professional development track, students will complete the remaining classes within three years of employment. Once hired by MLG&W, students take advantage of MLG&W's tuition reimbursement plan to continue their training and education. Employment is not guaranteed, however, students who successfully complete the first course in the series and meet MLG&W employment standards are given the highest hiring priority.
