Drivers are needed...


Are you ready?
Career Training & Development at Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College is pleased to offer the Tractor-Trailer Operator Training course. Successful graduates of this 180-hour program obtain the class "A" Commercial Drivers License and are eligible to enter the workforce at a substantially higher rate of pay.

The course includes classroom instruction and behind-the-wheel experience to prepare individuals for the Commercial Drivers License (CDL) road test.
