Triton College and Pace Bus are pleased to announce their partnership to provide a free CDL Class B commercial driver’s license permit course for the next generation of professional bus operators. Triton College and Pace Bus have teamed up to offer a customized two-week program to assist qualified applicants in obtaining their CDL permit. To remove financial barriers for students to pursue and complete the program actively, Pace will cover the costs of tuition, training, books, fees and other expenses associated with the program.  On Monday, Sept. 18, 2023, Triton College will host a pre-hire event for job seekers to meet with Pace staff. The event is mandatory for anyone interested in attending the permit course. During the three-hour event, which begins promptly at 6 p.m., in Room A-122A (A Building) applicants will complete a screening process which includes an application, an assessment questionnaire and background check paperwork. All candidates must bring a valid driver’s license and a DMV or Secretary of State Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) (also called driving record abstracts) showing a good driving record over the last five years.
