Description
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is requesting proposals from entities to administer a project to train, license, and help participants obtain gainful employment through a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) Program. The purpose of this program is to increase the number of individuals who hold Class A Commercial Driver’s Licenses in the State of Ohio. The selected vendor will deliver a Class A CDL program in the State of Ohio to support the heavy highway industry. Key aspects of the program include:
• CDL Training: The Proposer will conduct Class A CDL training (with a tanker endorsement without restrictions) to the selected individuals.
• Soft Skill Training: The Proposer must integrate education about life and work skills into the program.
• Job Placement Assistance: The Proposer shall assist the students with job placement in heavy highway/road construction occupations.
• Reporting: ODOT requires reporting on how many participants graduated from the program and the type and location of the job obtained.
The vendor’s team must have five (5) or more years of experience in teaching CDL courses, planning/implementing soft skills training, and assisting with job attainment for the program participants. The vendor must have a pre-developed program and must be able to deliver the Class A CDL training (with a tanker endorsement and no restrictions) in the State of Ohio.
