The Community Housing Association of Dodge City (CHAD) awarded seven scholarships to Dodge City Community College (DC3) Building Construction Technology students on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
This marks the seventh consecutive year CHAD has awarded scholarships to DC3 students, helping cover tuition and tools while preparing them for careers in construction. The partnership between CHAD and the DC3 program combines workforce development with hands-on housing projects: CHAD provides vacant lots and materials, and students contribute labor to construct homes while gaining experience in concrete, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work alongside licensed contractors.
“This program does so much more than teach construction skills; it helps students launch meaningful careers, increases our pool of qualified contractors, revitalizes blighted neighborhoods, and adds quality and affordable housing to our community,” Mollea Lightner, Assistant Director of Economic Development, said.
