S&N Infrastructure is proud to congratulate the graduates of the 2026 IEC/Hoosier Energy OpTICPATH Fiber Technician Class

This program, provided by S&N Infrastructure with OpTICPATH certification through the Fiber Broadband Association, represents more than technical training, it represents investment in people, partnerships, and the future of connectivity.

 

A special thank you to our instructors Andy Gibson, Mike Powell, and Ethan Powell for sharing their knowledge and experience throughout the course, as well as our manufacturing partners PLP, CommScope, and Lightera for their continued support of the program.

 

Strong infrastructure starts with strong training and these graduates are helping build what comes next.
