Sidney Public Schools Launches New CDL Program For Students
By The Roundup,
2024-12-31When school is back in session next semester, the Sidney Public Schools is rolling out an exciting new program aimed at providing students with the opportunity to earn their Commercial Driver's License (CDL) as part of their educational experience. The program, which will begin with five to six 18-year-old students, is designed to help meet the growing demand for skilled truck drivers in the region. Thom Barnhart, the school's curriculum director explained that this initiative is funded through a transitional learning grant from the Department of Public Instruction. The grant is designed to offset the cost of the program and ensure that the local workforce needs are met. Barnhart emphasized the importance of the program, saying, "This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience and enter a high-demand career field while still in school. It's an investment in both their futures and the future of our community."
