Commercial truck drivers are in high demand in Guam and across the nation. The GCC Truck Driving Boot Camp IV gives successful completers the training and knowledge needed to enter this in-demand, high-paying industry. GCC’s Truck Driving Boot Camps have already produced 24 C-licensed truck drivers.
Since GCC first offered boot camps in 2018 there have been 472 participants with 424 of those earning their certificates. This is a 90% completion rate in all GCC boot camps, including bus driving, construction, ship repair, information technology, child care, diesel mechanic, medical home health aide, and certified nursing assistant just to name a few. There are 16 more boot camps slated to start before the end of 2022.
