Registered Apprenticeship Programs
After your driver has earned their CDL with any required endorsements, or your diesel mechanic has completed their initial technical training, your company may be looking for the next step to train and retain your new employee…
Next Generation in Trucking’s Registered Apprentice Program (RAP) is a no-cost option to provide standardized training and retention incentives in two essential career pathways:
- CDL Driving
- Diesel Mechanics
