Columbian Margaret Feese featured in magazine article After Fruit of the Loom closed, she achieved success with an Office of Employment and Training grant which let her finish college at LWC; now she helps administer the program in Frankfort By Kim Brannock, Kentucky Education Cabinet from the Office of Employment and Training, Insider, November 13, 2006 A layoff from Fruit of the Loom (FOL) in September 1997 gave Margaret Feese the chance to finish college and put her on the path to a job with the Office of Employment and Training (OET). In a twist of fate, she now works with the same grant that allowed her to attend college. After high school, Feese attended Lindsey Wilson College (LWC) for one semester and then decided to get married and dropped out of school. Feese said she was a typical teen with her mind on other pursuits than a college degree. Once she saw the real world without a college degree, she longed to return to college but the cost was prohibitive. After 13 years at FOL, she realized that the closing of the factory was an opportunity to return to school with assistance from a grant. She seized the opportunity and returned to LWC to work on a degree. The grant funded a two-year degree and Feese used the opportunity to eventually earn a bachelor's degree in business administration with a concentration in accounting in May 2001. Following college, Feese worked for the Kentucky Department of Public Advocacy as a graduate accountant. After five years, she transferred to OET where she currently works as an internal policy analyst. Margaret Feese is employed by the central office of OET in Frankfort. She works with a grant that helps dislocated workers, a grant that once funded two years of college that resulted in her associate degree in business management. Feese said, "My heart goes out to all the dislocated workers, people trying to live a normal life with the problems that they face, and I find it very rewarding to work with the grant that changed my life and so many lives for the American people who have lost their job to NAFTA."
