Here at DTC, we love and appreciate our grads as well as spotlighting their success stories! Meet Antonio Colley, a masonry restoration grad who is now employed at RAM Construction Services of Michigan, Inc.:

"Detroit Training Center has given me the opportunity to make a big impact in Detroit. Before starting with DTC, I worked at a steel factory. I had spotted RAM Construction Services billboards and signs around Detroit, wondering what all the company did. Those billboards and signs helped inspire me to want to assist the city of Detroit in new and inventive ways related to construction. With training from DTC, I was given a step ahead of the rest of the competition for the construction job market. I was set apart as a DTC mason grad, and with the knowledge I gained from the center, I became more of an asset to RAM. When speaking with other masons who received training elsewhere, my training was treated and thought of as gold mine by them. Everything worked out for the best for me. It can be easy to get influenced by the wrong thing growing up, but I did not want to go down that path, especially since my family, including my younger cousins look up to me. Those cousins also want to attend DTC just like I did. I have my first child on the way and recently graduated with my Associates of Science. I now have good health care and a union based job with RAM. DTC was really there for me."
