Clifton Forge, Va. – Mountain Gateway Community College (MGCC) is excited to announce the introduction of school bus and passenger vehicle trainings, scheduled to begin this fall. This program will prepare individuals for careers in school bus and passenger vehicle operations,
offering comprehensive training and certification that will open doors to employment opportunities.
The school bus used for the training program has been generously donated by Alleghany Highlands Public Schools, exemplifying a strong partnership between the college and the local community. MGCC will be administering general knowledge testing and skills assessment,
providing a convenient one-stop shop for interested individuals.
Upon completion of the program, students will be equipped to pursue employment with school districts while meeting the necessary Department of Education (DOE) pupil transportation training requirements through the district. In addition to school bus and passenger vehicle trainings, MGCC is also gearing up to offer CDL trainings for Class A and Class B licenses, further expanding the range of opportunities available to students.
Training will be offered at both Mountain Gateway Community College’s Clifton Forge Campus and the Wilson Workforce Center in Buena Vista.
