Welcome to Dawson Technical Institute of Kennedy-King College!
Big things happened when Simeon Career Academy joined Dawson Technical Institute (DTI) for an exclusive "Real Talk Trades" session! 🛠️
Our students got the inside scoop on how to turn their current skills into lifelong careers with some of Chicago’s most powerful unions, including:
• IBEW Local 134 (Electricians)
• Pipefitters Local 597
• Roofers & Waterproofers
• Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers
• Chicago Women in Trades (CWIT)
At DTI, our students are learning the skills that keep our communities safe and our cities growing.
🔹 Gas Utility Worker trainees are mastering the art of detecting and responding to gas leaks — protecting homes, families, and entire neighborhoods.

🎉 Congratulations to Mr. Lionel Pittman! 🎉
Please join us in celebrating our very own Mr. Lionel Pittman, Plumbing Instructor at Dawson Technical Institute, proud second-generation plumber, and CEO of Pittman Plumbing. Today marks a major milestone as Mr. Pittman broke ground on his newly acquired land in Ford Heights—a powerful step toward revitalizing the community he proudly serves.
This groundbreaking event launches an inspiring initiative: the construction of three-bedroom container homes, designed by the community and for the community. These homes symbolize more than housing—they represent opportunity, sustainability, and the transformative impact of technical education in advancing lives and strengthening neighborhoods.
We are incredibly proud of Mr. Pittman’s leadership, vision, and unwavering commitment to economic empowerment and community development. 💪🏽🏡
