A Lorain County, Ohio training provider is expanding its curriculum to address workforce requirements in the regional energy sector.
Great Lakes Truck Driving School has developed an oil field safety certification program launching this month. The curriculum includes OSHA compliance training, First Aid certification, and Rigging instruction—competencies identified as critical by drilling contractors in the Marcellus and Utica Shale regions.
The school reports that 10 drilling contractors have identified immediate hiring needs totaling more than 4,000 positions. Employers specifically require candidates holding CDL licenses and heavy equipment operation credentials combined with the safety certifications the program provides.
The training organization recently secured accreditation from the International Association of Drilling Contractors, allowing it to issue Health, Safety, and Environmental RIG PASS Cards and SafeLandUSA Endorsements upon course completion.
The program's training strategy is focused on aligning curriculum development with employer demand in sectors experiencing sustained growth. The oil and gas industry represents a long-term employment pipeline for the state's workforce.
The facility offers training for professional driving, heavy equipment operation, and energy sector safety.
