Oconee Fall Line Technical College (OFTC) continues to meet workforce demands, specifically in producing quality trained commercial truck drivers, bridging the gap to combat the state’s truck driver shortage.
In the last four years, enrollment in the College’s Commercial Truck Driving (CTD) program has increased 40 percent, a direct result of the college’s commitment to meeting industry needs.
“At OFTC, we understand the critical role a strong commercial truck driving program plays in our communities and for our local industry,” said OFTC President, Erica Harden. “A robust CTD program fuels our local economy by providing a pipeline of qualified drivers, strengthens our community by offering opportunities for a career in a robust industry, and empowers individuals to achieve their dreams.
“We are committed to providing the best possible CTD education, ensuring a brighter future for our students, our college, and the communities we serve.”
Quality Facilities
Because of the great need for quality trained drivers, OFTC recently put forth additional efforts to ensure their 241 CTD students are supported with adequate resources, and proper measures are being taken to strengthen the program.
