A program in Southwest Florida helps high school seniors head into construction jobs instead of college.
“Everybody believes that college is always the way, and there are some programs like this that are awesome that help you,” said Nathaniel Diaz, a senior at Dunbar High School.
Eight Dunbar High School students plan to work after graduation. Thanks to the “Train to Gain” program, they’re getting firsthand experience in trades such as construction, roofing and plumbing.
The students inspected a city-owned house Thursday and picked out everything that needs to be fixed.
