JWCC Truck Driver Training Program Hosting Two Open Houses in Quincy and Pittsfield
The Truck Driver Training (TDT) Program at John Wood Community College will host two informational open houses at its Quincy campus and Southeast Education Center in the coming weeks.
The first open house will be held on Monday, July 24, at 6:30 p.m. at JWCC Workforce Development Center, 2710 North 42nd Street in Quincy.
The second TDT open house will occur on Monday, August 7, at 6:30 p.m. at JWCC Southeast Education Center, 39637 260th Ave., in Pittsfield.
During this open house, representatives will share how the program has revised its training in response to the new federal regulations regarding obtaining a CDL. Admission requirements, funding options, and career opportunities in the trucking industry will be discussed. Attendees will also learn about a 16-credit hour, financial-aid eligible, Logistics/Truck Driver Training certificate.
Attendees may also register for courses offered at JWCC’s Workforce Development or Southeast Education Center during the open house events.
JWCC’s TDT program uses industry-standard equipment as teaching tools. Class A CDL drivers are in unprecedented demand. Students in the program will be actively recruited by numerous trucking companies, representing local and national firms. Some employers may fund tuition costs.
The open house is free and open to the public. For information, contact 217.641.4971 or visit www.jwcc.edu/truck.
