In response to a growing demand for commercial drivers, a new Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) program is set to be introduced at the James Valley Career and Technology Center. Recent data revealed that Stutsman County has experienced 47 job openings requiring a CDL in recent months, highlighting a significant need for qualified drivers in the region.
The implementation of this program aims to equip local residents with the necessary skills and certification to fill these positions. With the trucking and transportation industries facing ongoing challenges in finding sufficient drivers, this initiative is expected to not only benefit job seekers but also support local businesses struggling to meet their logistical needs.
The CDL program will offer comprehensive training, covering both the theoretical and practical aspects of driving commercial vehicles. As the demand for skilled drivers continues to rise, this initiative represents a crucial step towards enhancing employment opportunities and addressing workforce shortages in Stutsman County.
