Program Highlights
The State Center Bus Driving Program is an innovative not-for-credit cohort-based workforce development program that seeks to train individuals in the community for a career in the in-demand field of Bus Driving.
The Bus Driver training program provides 30 hours of training over a 1-week period, serving up to 20 participants per cohort.
