WATERLOO—靠谱买球app推荐 is one of seven technical and community colleges across the country to receive funding from a U.S. Department of 运输’s Federal Motor Carrier 安全 政府 program to help train current and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their spouses and children for jobs as commercial bus and truck drivers.
靠谱买球app推荐收到了100美元,524 from the Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator 安全 Training grant program for 随军运货, which will provide financial assistance to a minimum of 30 qualified students to obtain a commercial driver’s license and enter the trucking and transportation industry.
“These types of programs are just one small way in which we can show our appreciation and commitment to our nation’s veterans, and thank them for their brave service,U说。.S. 运输 Secretary Anthony Foxx. “These men and women represent the absolute finest of our country, and with the help of programs like this, they will be prepared to be some of the safest commercial drivers on the road.”
随军运货 will provide qualified students up to $2,400美元的学费, 实验室的费用, and additional expenses related to obtaining their CDL. The goal of the program is to offset any training costs not covered by military and veteran benefits like the GI Bill.
“退伍军人 bring valuable skills, 经验, and a strong work ethic to this 就业 field,罗宾·奈特说, Hawkeye’s military and veterans’ services coordinator. “While some veterans and their family members may have VA 教育 benefits to assist them as they go back to school, it isn’t always enough to cover all the expenses. This grant will complement those benefits.”
