In an Aug. 16 Facebook post, Rep. Patrick Windhorst (R-Harrisburg) shared information on a scholarship program for individuals needing to obtain or renew their Commercial Driver's License.
“The Illinois Pork Producers Association offers a scholarship program for applicants seeking to obtain or renew their Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in Illinois. Download the application at the link below," Windhorst posted.
The Illinois Pork Producers Association is offering a $1,000 scholarship for individuals who have a valid Transport Quality Assurance (TQA) certification or sign up for the class. Individuals must show that they haul pigs or feed for a pork producer in the state.
“A common issue pork producers continue to talk about is the difficulty they face in finding and retaining good labor both on farm and transportation support,” said Thomas Titus, IPPA president. “Now, more than ever, it is our association’s goal to help producers support and retain their employees. Additionally, we want to recruit the next generation of pork industry advocates.”
Windhorst was first elected to the Illinois House in 2018. His legislative experience includes serving on the Restorative Justice and Judiciary - Criminal committees. Windhorst resides in Metropolis.
