The Okaloosa County School District will host two bus driver job fairs this month where prospective applicants can test-drive a school bus and apply on-site.
- The first job fair is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 12, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Transportation South Bus Barn, 1978 Lewis Turner Blvd. in Fort Walton Beach.
- The second will be held Thursday, Oct. 15, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Transportation North Bus Barn, 555 Anderson St. in Crestview.
According to the district, the events give community members a chance to learn more about careers with its Transportation Department and about becoming a school bus driver.
Attendees can test-drive a school bus, meet with Human Resources staff for on-site application assistance and learn more about paid training to earn a commercial driver’s license.
- The district described the bus driver position as one that plays an important role in safely transporting students to and from school each day.
Those interested are encouraged to attend whichever job fair is most convenient for them. For more information, contact the Okaloosa County School District Human Resources Department at 850-833-5800.
