A great turnout at yesterday's FMCSA Safety Seminar at the Gillette College TEC Building!

The seminar brought together motor carriers, drivers, and industry professionals to learn about current regulations, compliance trends, and best practices for operating safely on Wyoming's roadways.

A special thank you to Joshua Camp, Division Administrator for the U.S. Department of Transportation, for sharing valuable insights on federal motor carrier safety requirements and common compliance challenges. We also appreciate Officer Mitchell with the Wyoming Highway Patrol Port of Entry for providing updates on permitting, inspections, and transportation regulations affecting Wyoming carriers.

Events like these help strengthen safety awareness, promote compliance, and support the transportation industry across our region.

Last Friday, Gillette College Workforce & Community Development had the opportunity to team up with Gillette College Area 59 and Gillette College Industry Safety Training to help introduce local 6th grade students to career exploration through virtual reality.

Experiences like these give students an opportunity to explore industries, careers, and possibilities they may not have otherwise considered.

Today's students are tomorrow's workforce, and the future of workforce starts with curiosity. 💡

Workforce Wednesday Tip of the Day:

You don’t have to make huge changes to grow your skills. Sometimes, 15 minutes of learning something new is all it takes to move one step closer to your goals.
