Allstate Commercial Driver Training School, located at 249 Pearl St. in Seymour, will be holding a career fair on Thursday, Aug. 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The facility, which offers courses to obtain CDL A, CDL B, CDL Passenger licensing, and forklift training, opened in Seymour in 2012. With the demand for commercial drivers expected to increase by about 8 per cent in the coming decade, the school represents a great opportunity for people seeking employment.
Courses are usually taught on a one-on-one basis and approximately 10 students graduate per week.
The event will host 10 employers including Coca Cola, DHL, Swift, and Schneider among other industry leaders.
Also, the CT Career Coach Bus from the Connecticut Department of Labor will be on hand offering additional on-site job placement assistance.
Jason Cappola, M.S., A Veterans’ Employment Representative of the Department of Labor, will also be attending in order to provide assistance to veterans.
The event is open to the public and everyone is welcome to attend.
If you have any questions, you can contact the school at (203) 922‑8252 or stop by the office.
