TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) The Vigo County School Corporation is looking to hire more bus drivers leading up to the school year.
According to VCSC Director of Communications Bill Riley, the position would be opportune for those seeking employment following the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I think one of the things that people are really looking for in a job right now is support and flexibility and this job has both,” Riley said. “For four hours a day bus drivers can earn up to $100 and we have a full training program.”
Riley said those hired to be a bus driver will receive complete training on how to operate the vehicles for free. Furthermore, VCSC will drive new hires to Indianapolis for the CDL test and help pay for licenses.
