TriState Career Center is expanding to a second location for their CDL school and is now accepting new students! Most of the carriers we work with start offering jobs to students before they graduate and annual starting pay is around $45,000 with lots of room for earning more. We can also help people with criminal backgrounds!

Are you a parent who needs help with employment, housing, transportation, or childcare?! We’re proud to partner with a local nonprofit, Restore Hope, in their new 100 Families initiative in Pulaski County.

This initiative helps families move from crisis to career, using existing community resources, by engaging community partners, training agencies on a collaborative case management system, and recruiting case managers to respond when a family is in crisis.

Get in touch today and find out if you qualify!
