Success Stories
“The advantage of DCT is that we learn even more on the farm, and it is easier to understand and remember the theory”
“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.”
“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.”
