U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg chatted with Daryl McLendon about how he learned about Prince George’s Community College’s Commercial Driver’s License program.
“I looked it up online,” said McClendon, a student in the college’s CDL training program. “I went to the P.G. County website and looked for CDL. I saw the training and then called the [school’s] office.”
Buttigieg visited the college Wednesday not only to promote job opportunities in the trucking industry, but also to bring a big $173,640 check for the school. The money will help at least 50 students to obtain a CDL license and learn the trucking industry tuition free.
Buttigieg also brought a bigger check at $197,410 for the Community College of Baltimore County.
