Reinventing Your Career Path Amidst the Pandemic
Tim Roland (pictured right) came into Mother Lode Job Training after losing his job due to COVID and was looking for assistance in obtaining his Class A license to continue his career in truck driving.
Overcoming the difficulties of unemployment, he was able to work closely with a case manager from MLJT and enrolled in the Tractor Trailer Operator Program given by Western Pacific Truck School. His hard work paid off and he completed the vocational training program with his Certificate of Completion, passed his behind the wheel test and received his Class A license! A week later, he gained employment at Campbell Construction in Sutter Creek.
