About CLR
34 years in education. Built for construction.
Dr. Cathy Riggins, Ed.D. retired from public education — not from the work. She founded CLR Strategic Solutions after spending a career watching the gap between the classroom and the job site widen while young people fell through it.
Her workforce models don't just inspire — they execute. Reduced recruitment costs, stronger retention, faster time-to-productivity, and talent pipelines aligned with what employers actually need.
Empowering Education
Connecting careers and education
Success Stories
Proof It Works
Cathy genuinely cares!
"As a single mom trying to build a future in the construction industry, I didn’t know where to start. When I reached out to Dr. Cathy Riggins, she immediately made me feel heard and valued. She didn’t just answer my questions; she walked me through the right steps, gave me real advice, and encouraged me when I needed it the most. What meant even more was that she followed up and checked in, showing me, she genuinely cares! Dr. Riggins isn’t just connecting people to jobs; she’s helping individuals like me carve a path to career success with a clear idea of our future. I am excited about my
future as a construction project manager!"
