Starting this summer, future truck drivers seeking commercial driver license training at nine Arizona community colleges will get financial help thanks to a $4.5 million workforce scholarship program approved recently by Gov. Katie Hobbs.
“Education has the power to change lives,” Hobbs said. “Arizona is one of the fastest growing states in the country, with more and more people and businesses choosing to call our state home. This scholarship, along with our many other ongoing workforce development efforts, will help Arizonans access good-paying jobs that allow them to reach their full potential.”
David Borofsky, executive director of the Arizona Community College Coordinating Council, told Transport Topics the new Arizona Community College Workforce Scholarship Program (WSP) will use the influx of cash to help all 10 community college districts help students learn skills for employment, such as tractor-trailer driving.
