Next week, Saddleback College is ready to start cohort 5 of the Free Bus Operator Academy Training Program. Saddleback College and OCTA have partnered to develop career opportunities for underemployed, unemployed, and underrepresented OC residents. Saddleback College has been awarded a small grant from the OC Community Foundation to develop a Bus Operator Training Academy to create a skilled talent pipeline for OCTA. The grant pays for the cost of training so there is no cost to interested participants.

The starting wage has been increased to $20.48 per hour. You can learn more about this at this link.

The training for cohort #5 will begin on April 8, 2023. The training is an eight-week training program and will be held on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Saddleback College campus in Village 22-2 located in the “Village” Classrooms across from the football stadium.
