Students in the Delaware Area Career Center’s Construction Technology program recently took a significant step toward their future careers by earning the mikeroweWORKS Work Ethic Certification. This certification, offered through a partnership between The Ohio State University, Ohio 4-H, and mikeroweWORKS Foundation, helps students develop a strong work ethic, personal responsibility, and an appreciation for the value of skilled trades.
