I'm in Illinois and have found a company I want to work for (Crete) that would involve getting my CDL schooling done before I get hired. The schooling would need to be paid for before I start class, and when talking with the local government agency that offers payment for this kind of training they mentioned it usually takes 6 weeks for them to pay for classes - and the classes would start in less than 6 weeks. While I'd prefer to have my tax dollars pay for this training, I don't want to miss out on the next scheduled class while waiting to find out I don't qualify for paid training. It already seems like I've gone about this the wrong way according to the lady I talked with at the agency, apparently finding a school and a company to work for are things that only they are qualified to do, and that I can't have possibly done it right on my on. Which brings me round to my question, how hard is it to get CDL training paid for by government agencies? Especially worknet in Illinois?
