Catalogue of rural electric-utility and small-hydropower training programs
Rural electric-utility and small-hydropower training programs offered by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) are described in the catalogue. Described are courses in NRECA's growing, but still small, U.S.-based program and in its extensive overseas program. Included in the latter are courses in basic and advanced management for rural electric utilities, covering management skills, accounting, engineering, construction, technical skills, front-line supervision, and operations and maintenance. Also described are 15 courses in small hydropower technology and specialized courses in wood-pole preservation and maintenance. Overseas courses generally last 3-5 days (although the length of the specialized courses is not specified), while U.S.-based courses last 10 days to 6 weeks. A list of 36 course instructors is provided.
