Not being afraid of heights helped Caitlyn Deese when it came to the pre-apprentice electrical lineworker program at Wallace Community College in Dothan.
The program is physically demanding, and Deese met all its demands, including the requirement to work aloft without a fear of heights.
Deese is one of only eight female graduates in the program's history and the only female among the 20 graduates who successfully completed the seven-week program and graduated on Monday.“I knew someone who had been through the program,” she said. “I like being outdoors, so I decided I wanted to try it.”

Some of the students struggled, but Caitlyn did not. Being the only female in the class didn’t faze Deese, but she does wish there were more females in the industry.
