Paul D. Camp Community College is meeting the demand for a growing industry by offering a forklift, clamp truck and reach truck operator certificate course.

“With new construction and the expansion of existing facilities, the demand for warehouse and distribution center employees is increasing every day,” said Randy Betz, PDCCC vice president of workforce development. “In response, the college created this non-credit course to enhance opportunities of employment in this industry.”

The course will be held Nov. 29 through Dec. 1, from 5 to 10 p.m., at Paul D. Camp Community College’s Franklin Campus, 100 North College Drive.
