Caitlyn Deese does not necessarily stand physically tall when grouped with her classmates.
As a matter of fact, Caitlyn is also one of only eight female students in her Electrical Line Worker Program at Wallace Community College in Dothan, Alabama.
Already attending the Welding Program at Wallace, Caitlyn was ready to fight for a position in the male-dominated world of construction, and her lack of fear of heights also held her in good stead for this program.
The program helps fill the industry need for qualified Linemen (and women) and is a huge tip-of-the-hat to the CTE, or Career and Technical Education system currently having a spotlight shine on it, due to ‘a career in a year’, and qualified, job-ready graduates, capable of getting and holding well-paid jobs immediately after graduation, compared to a traditional four-year college.
Kecia Forehand, Wallace Community College Workforce Development Coordinator says that Caitlyn has great earning potential, and the school is excited to see where her career will take her.
‘Caitlyn has proven that with great work ethic, dedication, and perseverance, women can be successful in any career field’, says Forehand.
