April 4, 2022 – President Joe Biden celebrated federal investments in the trucking industry during a White House event on Monday, highlighting strides the administration has made in implementing its “Trucking Action Plan,” which was unveiled late last year. “I want to thank you … (for) keeping America moving, because that’s literally what you’re doing — especially these last two years, helping carry the nation literally on your backs,” Biden said.
Northwest-Shoals Community College – Has been making plans, well before the President’s announcement, to restart the school’s Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) program. This is just one example of of the College’s forward-looking plans-of-action to provide our community with the resources it needs to build a strong workforce of trained people who are ready to get started with good paying careers.
Now, in the second week of the introductory program, the NW-SCC Adult Education and Training for Business and Industry Departments is holding a class for students who wish to pursue a career that requires a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). During the two-week course in which students are taught the requirements, prospective employers, in need of CDL drivers, meet with them to discuss career opportunities at their respective companies. On-the-spot interviews are even taking place.
