GHC Invites Trucking and Logistics Companies to CDL Hiring Event

Posted on: Sep, 12, 2025

Grays Harbor College is inviting regional trucking and logistics companies to connect with newly trained drivers at the upcoming Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) hiring event and graduation.

The combined hiring event and graduation will take place on Friday, October 31 from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm at the Satsop Business Park at 150 Technology Way, Elma WA 98541. The event will showcase the graduates of GHC’s six-week CDL training program, who are prepared to enter the workforce with the skills needed to succeed as professional drivers.

Each quarter, GHC partners with local employers to provide both a celebration of student achievement and a hiring opportunity. Participating companies will have the chance to meet and interview CDL grads, promote job opportunities to new drivers, and build connections with GHC’s CDL program.

“We know how critical commercial drivers are to our regional economy. Our goal is to not only prepare students for in-demand careers, but also to support local businesses by connecting them with qualified candidates right away,” said GHC President Dr. Carli Schiffner. “GHC has an excellent CDL program taught by expert instructors. We consistently see our graduates pass their state Department of Licensing test on their first try, often with perfect scores.”

Companies interested in participating in the event should contact Roxa Banks, Program Coordinator at GHC, by calling 360-538-4070 or emailing roxa.banks@ghc.edu to reserve a spot. Space is limited.
