Wheels of Opportunity: Driving Ag Careers Forward

Description

Wheels of Opportunity is a new rural workforce initiative led by Safety Buzz Campus in partnership with Prairie Rose School Division, municipalities, employment agencies, and ag-sector leaders. Its goal is to train and support new Class 3 commercial drivers to meet Alberta's agricultural transportation needs.

This program was created with the agriculture industry in mind, an industry we truly care about and deeply respect. We recognize the hard work and dedication that goes into Ag every single day, and we’re excited to support those who help keep it moving forward. 

Through a partnership with the Government of Alberta, the Wheels of Opportunity Grant provides $3,600 per participant to fully fund the cost of obtaining a Class 3 license and accessing agriculture-related training and courses. Our goal is to help create real opportunities for people to enter or advance in agriculture-related careers.
