Spotlight on the 2024 Lineworker Supplement

June 18, 2024

Get in the spotlight by being featured in one of our stories in our annual T&D World supplement honoring the line trade.

Amy Fischbach

Every year, T&D World publishes a special supplement all about the line trade. Lineworkers, we'd love to include you in this year's edition, which will be published in September 2024. You can email photos and comments to me at [email protected], or we can schedule a time for a phone or podcast interview if it works better for you.

Because I know lineworkers are busy all day out in the field and not in an office, I have created online surveys as a way for you to participate in this year's stories. If you complete a survey or participate in a phone or podcast interview, you will have the opportunity to view the story as a Word document and as a PDF prior to publication.

For 2024, here's what's in store.

Lineworker Profiles

Also, we have two other departments that feature lineworkers in the T&D World print magazine: Lineworker Focus for journeymen lineworkers and Faces of the Future for apprentices. If lineworkers participate in either one of these departments, they will receive a tool package from Milwaukee Tool including these or similar tools.
