On April 16th, students and faculty from Kaw Tay Whee School in Dettah, NT had the opportunity to tour Det'on Cho Kavanaugh & Det'on Cho Construction Services. After the Kavanaugh shop tour, students experienced a demonstration of a front-load truck tipping a bin. They had a chat with a Heavy Duty Mechanic and Equipment Operator, and afterwards, they visited the Det'on Cho Construction Services shop, where they got to sit in a Loader and ask some questions about equipment. The trip wrapped up with a tour of the Det’on Cho Land Tran Quarry, giving them a chance to see additional trucks, equipment, and operations in action.

The visit offered students a firsthand glimpse into the wide range of careers and operations within Det’on Cho, helping them gain a clearer understanding of potential career paths.
