San Jac expands CDL truck driving program with FleetForce
PASADENA, Texas – San Jacinto College is expanding access to high-demand workforce training through a new partnership with FleetForce, which will support the delivery of its Commercial Driver’s License truck driving program.
The partnership with FleetForce reflects the College’s continued commitment to providing industry-aligned training that leads directly to employment in essential fields across the region. Commercial truck driving plays a critical role in supporting supply chains, infrastructure, and economic growth, and San Jacinto College is focused on preparing students with the skills and credentials needed to enter the workforce quickly and successfully.
FleetForce was selected based on its experience working with community colleges and workforce agencies. Through this partnership, San Jacinto College will strengthen its ability to connect students with funding opportunities, career pathways, and employer-driven training models.
“This partnership allows San Jacinto College to continue delivering high-quality, industry-aligned education for our region while being thoughtful stewards of college resources,” said Dr. Sallie Kay Janes, associate vice chancellor of continuing and professional development at San Jacinto College. “By working with FleetForce, we can expand access to CDL training, respond quickly to workforce needs, and do so in a way that helps reduce operational costs while maintaining the level of excellence our students and community expect.”
The CDL truck driving program will provide students with multiple avenues for access and affordability, including alignment with workforce funding sources and career pathway programs that support adult learners, incumbent workers, and individuals transitioning into new careers. The partnership also expands opportunities for veterans and transitioning service members seeking to enter the commercial driving profession.
San Jacinto College’s CDL truck driving program aligns with the College’s broader mission to deliver workforce education that meets regional demand, supports economic mobility, and creates clear pathways to employment. By expanding its commercial driving training, the College continues to strengthen its role as a leader in workforce development for the Gulf Coast region.
