Drivers & Monitors
Find the best. Train the best. Retain the best.
Every driver & monitor is dedicated to the safety and care of your students
The students we serve are at the heart of all we do. We look for employees who not only know their community, but also clearly share this core value. Our most successful efforts involve recruiting from a targeted group of job seekers — specifically veterans, retirees, spouses of active military, and stay-at-home mothers and fathers.
Through our comprehensive training program, we equip drivers with the tools to address issues such as:
- Safety and security
- Injury prevention
- Behavioral management
- Specialized equipment procedures
