Abstract: Distribution designers are key employees for any gas and/or electric distribution companys delivery business. At most companies, however, training for distribution designers is handled informally through mentoring and on-the-job training. While degreed engineers have formal engineering education and continuing education opportunities, and field employees have structured apprentice training programs, distribution designers rarely have a structured, comprehensive training program available to them. There are also very few technical degrees available for the purposes of becoming a utility distribution designer. Distribution designers frequently come up through the ranks of a utility from administrative, mapping or field positions, and while they may have general knowledge of the delivery business, they rarely have detailed knowledge of distribution design. This paper describes how Xcel Energy identified a need for a designer training program, developed the program, and addresses training program content and administrative issues
