DACC works for the whole county, not just DACC families
Whether or not you have a student on campus, DACC touches Delaware County through local employers, younger kids exploring careers, and adults building new skills. Here’s the full picture.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
Six ways DACC reaches beyond its own students
A resource for the whole community
From employers to elementary schoolers, DACC's programs extend well past the students enrolled on campus.
Community events connect parents and residents directly with local employers to learn about specific industries — open to anyone, not just DACC families.
Future of Work events
DACC hosts job fairs open to the public and maintains a community job board, connecting Delaware County residents with local employers.
Community job fairs & job board
Continuing education helps adults in the community build new skills, and customized training helps local businesses upskill their existing workforce.
Adult & workforce education
Partnerships with colleges such as Columbus State and Hocking College create direct routes from career-tech training into college, strengthening the pipeline of skilled workers the whole county relies on.
College pathways
STEM outreach, wherever kids are
Partnerships with organizations like the Girl Scouts bring hands-on STEM programming directly to young people in the community.
Career awareness, starting early
DACC regularly visits elementary and middle schools countywide, plus offers a free Career Tech Saturday each spring and reduced-cost summer camps, so students can explore careers years before deciding on a path.
A stronger DACC means a stronger Delaware County
Whether or not a child in your home ever sets foot on campus, this renewal keeps a resource the whole community already relies on — funded, stable, and growing.
