SNYDER— Western Texas College on the Square is pleased to announce that it will begin offering Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) training beginning October 23.
“We are thrilled that we can offer this training to individual and businesses in this community and the surrounding area,” said Donna Cutler, WTC Director of Workforce Development.
