Testimonial
“Through the FIT program, DCCC provided the hands-on practical PLC training that the mechanics in our shop needed in order to better maintain our equipment. The benefits of working with a local college were seen quickly when the course schedule and format were laid out. With so many varieties of technology available in industry today, the tailored classes enabled all the training to be focused on our equipment and processes.”
