Hands-on training initiative expected to serve hundreds of individuals annually across five counties
A new workforce training initiative unveiled today at the Johnson County Public Library is helping open doors for more Arkansans pursuing employment opportunities, thanks to a partnership between Brightspeed, the River Valley Adult Learning Alliance (RVALA) and local community leaders. The tool is a new driving simulator that will provide hands-on training for adult learners preparing to earn a driver’s license, pursue a CDL certification or obtain farm equipment operation certification.
Housed at the Johnson County Public Library, the simulator will serve residents across RVALA’s five-county region and is expected to support more than 300 individuals annually, helping more people gain the skills and confidence needed to pursue employment and advance their careers.
