Steven just got his PASS for a new career.
But it isn't exactly a free PASS.
His PASS is a Plan to Achieve Self-Support that will require a lot of hard work. Steven's new career requires that he have a West Virginia Commercial Driver's License (CDL), which means he has to take an extensive written exam along with a driving test in an 18 wheeler. You don't just walk in and take these tests and expect to pass.
To help Steven obtain a WV Class A Commercial Driver's License, he will be enrolling in the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics Technical Career Training School. The Clarksburg, West Virginia PIA campus offers a CDL course. PIA is one of the leading schools in the country supplying drivers to the road transportation industry. PIA has trained and graduated over 8,800 students through their multiple-campus training system. PIA prides itself in providing state-of-the-art training with state-of-the-art equipment.
Steven, along with many other residents of West Virginia, are eligible for a Social Security Work Incentive known as a PASS, a Plan to Acheive Self-Support. A PASS is an SSI work incentive that lets you use your own income or assets to help you reach your work goals. For example, you could set aside money to go to school to get specialized training for a job, which is what Steven is doing. Or, it could help you to start a business. A plan is meant to help you get items, services, or skills you need to reach your goals.
For more information, please see http://www.passplan.org/
The tuition for PIA's CDL school is around $5,000. If it weren't for Social Security's PASS work incentive, there's no way Steven could save enough money to get his CDL license. So the work incentive in a way, IS a FREE pass to a new career, as far as accumulating the necessary funds to go to school is concerned. Beyond that, it's up to Steven to 'put the peddle to the metal' and dig into his studies and training.
Congratulations, on receiving approval from Social Security for your PASS to enroll in PIA's top rated school for obtaining a Commercial Driver's Licnese!
