Mountain Gateway Community College and Virginia Western will be holding a joint MOU signing on Tuesday, February 24 for the newly revamped CDL program. The signing will take place in the first floor lobby of the STEM building at 9:30 a.m, with the Mountain Gateway truck that students will be learning to operate on site in parking lot 3 for visitors to view.

The partnership allows Virginia Western students to benefit from MGCC’s established CDL expertise and proven curriculum. The program is designed for maximum efficiency:

• Hybrid format: Students complete self-paced coursework online and receive behind-the-wheel instruction based out of the Roanoke region.
• Expert oversight: MGCC provides the experienced instructors and curriculum management required for Class A CDL tractor-trailer licensure.
• Financial support: Qualifying Virginia residents may access state-funded grants to cover program costs.
