Humber College will be shutting down its Commercial Truck Driving Program at the end of this year, citing changing market conditions that have made the program unsustainable.
The program, which has trained Ontario’s commercial truck drivers for more than 30 years, will officially close on Dec. 31, 2024, Humber’s communications director Emily Milic said in an email to TruckNews.com.
“Due to ongoing enrollment challenges in a highly competitive landscape, Humber Polytechnic has made the difficult decision to close the commercial truck driving program,” she said. “Market conditions have changed along with a significant increase in program delivery costs, and it is no longer feasible to offer this program.”
In a related statement, Humber College acknowledged the contributions of its staff and instructors, praising their passion and commitment to transportation training. “It is because of your dedication that Humber was able to provide a positive commercial truck driving experience to so many learners over the years,” the statement read.
Several Ontario colleges still provide truck driving and air brake Z endorsement training, including:
- Fanshawe College, London, Ont.
- Northern College, Timmins, Ont.
- Durham College, Oshawa, Ont.
- Niagara College, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont.
- Mohawk College, Hamilton, Ont.
- St. Lawrence College, Cornwall, Ont.
