OCTC to Host Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Information Session Tuesday, December 1
Community members invited to learn about CDL training and available support resources
Owensboro, KY (11/09/2026) — Individuals interested in pursuing a career in commercial driving are invited to attend a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Information Session at Owensboro Community & Technical College (OCTC) on Tuesday, December 1, 2026, at the college's Downtown Campus, located at 1501 Frederica Street.
During this informational session, attendees will have the opportunity to speak directly with an OCTC CDL instructor to learn more about the program, explore training opportunities, and ask questions about getting started. Representatives from the Kentucky Career Center will also be available to discuss resources and assistance they may offer to individuals interested in pursuing CDL training.
"That's what I find so appealing about having a CDL: there are so many ways to use it. You can drive long distances or stay close to home and work locally. Almost everything we use in our everyday lives was delivered by a commercial driver," said James Cecil, OCTC CDL instructor.
Whether you're considering a new career path, looking to expand your professional opportunities, or simply exploring what's available, this session is a great opportunity to learn more about commercial driving training and the support available to help you take the next step.
The CDL Information Session is free and open to the public. No prior registration is required.
