Carl Tapp Technician Scholarship
Arkansas Trucking Association has launched an opportunity to encourage growth in the diesel technician workforce, as well as a way to help assure that the safest, most knowledgeable and skilled technicians are working on the trucks and trailers on our roads.
In addition to the driver shortage, the industry is also wanting for more manpower under the hoods and over the motherboards of increasingly technological trucks. The Arkansas Trucking Association is pursuing partnerships with institutes with diesel technician certificate programs to make technician careers and training accessible to more Arkansas students.
The Carl Tapp Technician Scholarship Program supports aspiring techs in their education and certification pursuits at Arkansas institutions that produce workforce-prepared diesel technicians.
