Daikin Supports Career Academies of Decatur

Daikin America is a proud education partner of Career Academies of Decatur (CAD). On January 6, Daikin sponsored a Cracker Barrel breakfast for the entire CAD staff as they prepared for the second semester of the school year.

After breakfast, Daikin and CAD had an enlightening discussion of how we could further develop our partnership and ensure the students at CAD were well equipped for success. One need discussed in the meeting was for support of student field trips to industry and other mission-critical offsite activities.

Daikin recognized the value in these activities for CAD students and has proudly donated $1500 to cover the cost of field trip transportation for a year. Allan Britnell, VP of Manufacturing / Plant Manager presented the check to Principal Ressa Chittam and Assistant Principal Tyler Stephenson on February 21, 2025.

We also recently provided CAD faculty with T-shirts and Sweatshirts that sport their awesome new CAD logo on the front and highlight Daikin as a Partner in Education on the back. We’re proud of the work CAD is doing as the newest Decatur city high school and we are excited to assist in their mission as a close Partner in Education!
