Felicia was set up in a Work Experience at Kibble Equipment where Workforce Development paid the first 200 hours of her wages. After she completed her hours, Kibble Equipment decided to hire her on.
This opportunity gave her experience in her career area of interest as well as general work skills. Felicia knew she wanted to go into a career field where she would be working with her hands and her family inspired her to become a diesel mechanic. There are not many females working in the industry, and this also inspired her to pursue this career field. Working on heavy equipment triggers her mind by figuring out how to take things apart and put them back together. At Kibble she also learned patience through waiting for parts and the time it takes to build things as well as working with customers. Felicia said, “it has been a good experience working at Kibble, they treat me like family. I have also learned that I need to work hard in school so I can graduate and get to where I want to be.” After she graduates, she plans to go to college to become a diesel mechanic and wants to continue her career at Kibble Equipment.
