Electrical & Industrial Systems Technology Students Receive Gift
Posted on Sep 16, 2025 at 15:05 PM
Recently, two nontraditional students in the Ogeechee Technical College (OTC) Electrical & Industrial Systems Technology program received a set of tools to help jumpstart their career.
A student pursuing a nontraditional field is identified as any student enrolled in a program of study that will lead to an occupation in which their gender makes up 25% or less of total workforce numbers. This is the case for two female students currently enrolled in the Electrical & Industrial Systems Technology program at OTC, which is a field historically occupied by males.
The two students, Charity and Arely, both of whom have family members in the business, said that their peers have been extremely helpful in the classroom.
“My dad owns his own electrical business, and I never saw myself walking in his shoes, but here I am now,” said Charity.
“Before starting classes I thought that all of the guys might treat us different, but once we started our classes, we realized that they were just like everyone else, they’ve helped us when we needed help and have been there when we had questions,” said Arely.
Charity and Arely were presented with the gift packages by their instructor, Matthew Peacock.
