Ronda came to the Western Maryland Consortium seeking a skills upgrade to increase her income and job opportunities. She was a dislocated worker struggling through inconsistent part time jobs and had been affected by the opioid epidemic relying on public assistance to get by in life. After receiving Career Counseling from one of our certified staff members, Ronda decided to train for her CDL A license to earn a better living.
Ronda’s Career Counselor helped her get enrolled in CDL A training with the Mountaintop Truck Driving Institute through Garrett College in Grantsville, MD. In no time, Ronda earned her Commercial Driver’s License with the class A endorsement.
We are happy to report that Ronda is earning a sustainable, fulfilling wage at a full-time, permanent position and is enjoying traveling the country!
