CDL Orientation Meetings

Orientation is your on-ramp to a new career. At our monthly evening orientation meeting, you’ll:

• Meet the instructor and see what you’ll learn in the truck.
• Get answers about training, tuition, and career opportunities.
• Learn step-by-step how to enroll and apply for financial aid.

Prefer one-on-one? We’ll arrange a meeting that fits your schedule. If you already have a valid Commercial Learner's Permit, we may be able to place you directly into the next class.
