Dominique Brown | Graduate Profile

Here at DTC, we love and appreciate our grads as well as spotlighting their success stories! Meet Dominique Brown, a heavy equipment grad who is now employed at the Detroit Water & Sewerage department:

"My experience with DTC was not an easy one; but was one of the most important steps I've taken to a permanent career in my life. Being a single parent and working nights full time, 6 weeks of training, 40 hours a weeks seemed daunting and impossible. Despite my doubts the staff always supported me every step of the way, encouraging me and inspiring me. I will say that this program is not for the unmotivated, but if you want it bad enough, if you're dedicated to finishing and serious about changing your current situation the payoff at the end is amazing and well worth the sweat. My program director Jonathan Clark stayed on me about completing even when I was at my wits end, promising that it would all work out if I was just diligent; and sure enough, I'm now working a great position with the city of Detroit and my resume is stronger than ever! I've gained knowledge that makes me stand out amongst my peers, making more money than I ever have, and setting a great foundation in place for my daughter so she can have the world one day. I'm proud of myself for completing this program and thankful for all the wonderful staff, teachers, and fellow students that this school has."
