Forklift Logistics Operations & Warehouse training program

T

he Career Technology Education(CTE) department at CCC began the Spring Semester with large numbers enrolled in its Forklift Logistics Operations & Warehouse training program. CCC is the first in the TAA collaborative to launch the training program.

During the orientation sessions in January, a total of 95 West County residents signed up for the 35 slots open to the first training cohort. The limited cohort number is based on the number of hours each student must have on the forklifts and other warehouse equipment used in the program.

The classes include forklift safety training, Hazmat awareness certificate, digital warehouse skills and job placement assistance.
