FREE TRUCK DRIVING INFORMATION SESSION
MARCH 20 AT EASTERN
Anyone looking to shift gears on stalled career plans should check out a free Truck Driving Program evening information session, March 20, at Eastern WV Community and Technical College’s Moorefield center. Starting at 6:00 pm, Lacey Ball, Eastern’s Workforce Education program assistant, will provide complete information about the program that offers two weeks of thorough classroom instruction to prepare learners for two to three additional weeks of hands-on, behind-the-wheel, big rig road and range training.
For more information, and to reserve a seat at the session, call Ball at 434-8000, or toll-free: 877-982-2322. “We also welcome walk-ins,” she said.
“I’ll explain everything about what trainees can expect to learn in the course, including all the topics and skills it will cover,” Ball said. She will also discuss the Department of Transportation’s physical exam and drug testing required before registration, and the Class A CDL (commercial driver’s license) successful graduates can apply for.
Job Placement Assistance
“Graduates who earn their CDL also benefit from ongoing job placement assistance through our partnering academy, the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics,” Ball noted, “who have a 13-year record of success teaching truck driving skills, assisting graduates to find good jobs in the field, and helping to keep them employed.”
