Dorian Franks (Construction)
“Graduating from high school, I was a bit nervous because I knew college wasn’t the path I wanted to take. I was given the opportunity to join a construction program that taught me hands-on skills and introduced me to a career I realized I truly enjoyed. At times, I doubted whether I could continue because of the physical demands and transportation challenges, but I chose to stay resilient. By pushing through, I recognized the bigger goal and the opportunities the program created for my future. Through resilience and hard work, I’ve built not only skills, but the confidence to continue growing in the construction industry.”
Genius
