The CDL training will take place at the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) in Ghent and will be offered in two phases. The first phase, Learner’s Prep Week, begins on Oct. 7 and is aimed at individuals seeking additional practice and support before entering the full CDL class. The second phase, the comprehensive CDL Class, starts on Oct. 14 and combines classroom instruction with hands-on driving experience to fully prepare students for the CDL licensing exam.

This opportunity is open to everyone, including students, employees, and the community.
