ESL students seek trucking jobs
TORONTO — English as a Second Language learners, attending a special program designed to prepare them for trucking careers, are seeking co-op experience inside trucking companies.
Some of these individuals have goals of working as truck drivers, mechanics, dispatchers, and safety officers, reports the Ontario Trucking Association.
These individuals will have experience speaking English (Intermediate level) and are seeking to enhance their working knowledge of trucking language to help them pass the driver training and driver licensing requirements or to go on to other related forms of higher learning.
Co-op placements are sought for six-week periods. Placements would ideally expose participants to many aspects of the trucking industry, including: yard and loading; safety and compliance; routing and dispatch; shop/garage and driving.
For more information, please contact: Brian Malott, ESL Instructor, St. Louis Adult and Continuing Education Centre; (519) 569-8768.
