The five DCTC competitors included: Kevin Day, Computer Programming; Ryan Monio, Information Technology; Jeremy Carl, Industrial Motor Control; Robyn Calloway, Related Technical Math and Scott Maki, Job Skill Demonstration A.
“The professionalism and skill they displayed is exactly what DCTC wanted to see in these students. They made DCTC proud!” said Tettam.
