District Council Training Center

Our Doors are OPEN Next Saturday!

Lockport High School stopped by to prepare for the Masonry Skills USA Challenge.

These high schoolers are delving into the world of masonry with both hands to see if this is their path forward.

They will be competing with other high school students to see who’s able to build the nicest brick façade on their construction project.

Most years, we make the trip out to Lockport to visit them in their shop. This time, we flipped the script and opened up our lab, turned them loose, and let them get after it on our turf.

Best of luck Lockport High!

At Illinois Valley Community College today, the BAC ADC 1 of IL DCTC is laying foundations, stacking opportunities, and building smiles. 🧱💪
