After a tenure of four years (on average) at DDD, most of our employees graduate on to positions elsewhere, or internally to management within DDD. In these job placements, they are very successful: the average DDD graduate goes on to make over $250 a month, more than four times the average regional wage.
But to us, the numbers tell only a small part of the story: the real success of our graduates is their ability to break the cycle of poverty that trapped them and their families. With high-paying jobs, DDD graduates can help support their families, allowing younger siblings to stay in school and raising their standard of living. Graduates from DDD go into the world as empowered and optimistic individuals--having grown up without opportunity on the horizon, they are now able to see a world with options where they can make an impact and have a brighter future.
