probably hear a great deal about unemployment in the media, one group of

veterans gain skills in the military that are useful in civilian jobs, many of
our former service members struggle to find work when they return home. At 160
Driving Academy, we believe that anyone who has served our country deserves a

Hiring Our
Heroes
helps transitioning service members, veterans and their spouses find
employment after leaving the military. This program is not-for-profit and is run
by veterans, which means that new veterans receive quality advice from mentors
who have faced the same challenges as they have. In addition to providing group
and one-on-one training, Hiring Our Heroes also refers new vets to companies
that value their service and are eager to offer them jobs.
160 Driving
Academy works closely with Hiring Our Heroes, and we’re always looking for
qualified new veterans who want to jump start their careers. There are many
benefits for veterans who decide to attend our trucking school, including:
We strongly believe that
our heroes should never have to struggle to find employment. Call 160 today to
begin, and one of our friendly representatives will give you the one-on-one
assistance you deserve. The next great move in your career starts here!
