Top training available at local service firm
AS Australia’s largest waste management company, Cleanaway has proudly supported the Shepparton community for the last 22 years with essential waste management and recycling services.
Cleanaway is launching its Victorian Driver Academy in Shepparton, offering locals the opportunity to be trained in driving heavy rigid vehicles, and a guaranteed job at the end of the five-week paid program.
This is a great opportunity for locals considering heavy vehicle driving or seeking new skills for a career change. No prior truck driving experience is needed, just a valid Victorian driver’s licence, held for at least two years with at least eight demerit points available.
The five-week training covers theory and practical skills for heavy rigid driving in the waste management industry.
Graduate drivers will go on to support a new customer partnership in Shepparton, with full-time and part-time work opportunities available and ongoing mentoring on offer.
The Driver Academy began recruiting in August, with the course to commence in October 2024.
Since the program’s inception in 2021, over 150 participants have graduated across Australia.
Driver Alison Lloyd completed Cleanaway’s Driver Academy in 2022 and became one of many women encouraged to join the industry through the Academy Programs.
“Applying for and completing the Driver Academy was not only one of my greatest accomplishments, but also a massive boost both socially and financially,” she said.
