Success Stories
“After completing DCT Farmer program, I got a job at the farm where I was trained”
“DCT helped me not just to apply the theory and basic knowledge I learned at the college, but also the skills in practical training at my work place. I never realized how many details to pay attention to at the hotel.”
“The advantage of DCT is that we learn even more on the farm, and it is easier to understand and remember the theory”
“Aside from obtaining the practical skills and knowledge from both the college and the restaurant, I also gain work experience and earn some income during training and working at the restaurant.”
