Every year the Southeastern Career Center hosts a Fearless Female event in order to encourage young women to follow their dreams. This year 177 girls attended the event. These girls were given the opportunity to experience six different male dominant programs, and get hands-on experience within these programs. Plus, they got to listen to presentations by women who have broken the mold and are pursuing careers in male dominated fields. They got the opportunity to participate in welding, building trades, auto mechanics, heavy equipment, diesel mechanics, and electrical trades. In addition, there were multiple opportunities along the way for these young women to win door prizes donated by local businesses. This event has the potential to open these girls up to a whole other world of possibilities. Inspiring them to not let social standards determine their future, but to follow their dreams wherever that may lead them.
