To qualify, individuals must be residents of Grays Harbor or Pacific counties and they must apply to see if they qualify for Workforce Funding by completing the short form at forms.ghc.edu/wfs-application. Individuals who qualify for Workforce Funding can use that funding towards program cost and if they do not qualify, they are automatically eligible for the scholarship.

The next CDL class runs from January 2 to February 13, Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, at the Satsop Development Park in Elma. Learn more and apply at ghc.edu/cdl or for more information about the CDL program, please email Marjie Stratton at [email protected] or call 360-538-4011.

Grays Harbor College’s CDL program boasts a strong track record, with 98% of graduates passing their skills test on the first try since January 2022. At the end of each six-week class, GHC holds a hiring event with prospective employers coming from around the area. Many CDL students leave the hiring event with at least one job offer.
