DEWALT Pro Series: Teila’s Story and DEWALT Essentials for Every Electrician’s Toolbox
Presented by DEWALT® and Zoro Staff
No matter what your profession is, there was a definitive moment that pushed you in that direction—that proverbial fork in the road when you chose left instead of right. For Teila Allmond, her journey toward becoming an electrician began when a middle school teacher told her, ”Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t.”
Teila Allmond Lights the Way for Young Women Interested in the Electrical Trade
We’re proud to partner with DEWALT to highlight Teila’s story as part of DEWALT’s Pro Series. She started out as an electrician apprentice and is now a union electrician in her hometown of Philadelphia with IBEW Local 98. But that’s not all: Teila is paying it forward as a recruitment coordinator and instructor for Rosie’s Girls, a union-led, pre-apprenticeship program for young women who are interested in the electrical and building trades. Watch her inspiring story here.
