Workforce Demand for Truck Drivers!
LSC is Training, Several Regional Truck Driving Companies Are Hiring
|

Fox 21 helped bring attention to the critical workforce need for certified truck drivers, who are essential to the supply chain and economy. The drivers help our regional, national and global economies moving.
Lake Superior College offers an excellent, flexible and affordable training program through Continuing Education and Customized Training (CECT) that can be completed in as little as nine weeks. While the current cohort is full, with a waiting list, the next cohort will start in February and there are plans to add even more sections in the near future. Learn more about LSC's Truck Driving certificate and watch the Fox 21 story. |

Mask Up and Take the Shot, IceHawks!
Safety remains our highest priority. Masks/face covering continue to be required inside all public spaces on all Lake Superior College campus locations, regardless of vaccination status.
Vaccinations: Minnesota State is following the guidance from the State of Minnesota and Minnesota Department of Health on vaccinations of our students and employees. An all employee email went out on September 8, and is also available on the website.
All state workers, including all LSC employees, must either be fully vaccinated or be tested for COVID every week. Employees are able to find additional information on available vaccines at www.mn.gov/covid19. While students are not currently required to be vaccinated (with exceptions in some programs, including some healthcare programs), we are strongly encouraging all students to get vaccinated as soon as possible. The most effective way we can reduce the spread of COVID-19 and avoid further restrictions as we move forward is to get vaccinated as soon as possible, if you’re not already.
