Truck Driver Training Academy to host open house Saturday

Jackson Community College’s Truck Driver Training Academy will host an open house from 11 a.m. to 2 pm. Saturday, June 9, at its site at 1300 Falahee Road, Jackson.

JCC is now offering truck driver training in cooperation with HR Career Development at the Commercial Exchange site in Michigan Center. Training prepares students to test for the Michigan class “A” commercial driver’s license (CDL) test, required for commercial heavy truck and tractor-trailer drivers. Students learn through classroom and hands-on training over just 21 days, and classes begin weekly.

At this open house, interested visitors may learn about the training opportunities available in today’s commercial trucking industry from instructors, and speak with current and recent graduates of the program who are now working as truck drivers. Free refreshments will be available.

For more information, please call Shantel Sicinski, 517.768.7024.
