After retiring from the military after 20 years of service, Chad Littler decided to follow his dream of driving a tractor trailer to see the country. To accomplish this goal, he turned to National Tractor Trailer School.
​
Chad enrolled in NTTS’s 602 hour, PTDI Certified Advanced Commercial Driver Course.  To complete his training, he drove 80 miles every day for 18 weeks, and successfully graduated from the program in June 2015. He is now employed by Gypsum Express of Baldwinsville, NY. 

​October 7, 2016, Washington, DC – This month the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 7.9 million Americans are unemployed, while at the same time 5.9 million jobs remain unfilled in America. This crisis exists because employers demand "job-ready" employees and prospective employees are simply not able to bridge the skills gap without appropriate career education and training.

How does a dream become a goal? We all have dreams, but sometimes they remain just that, an abstract wish with little chance of actually occurring. However, there are those who dream with purpose. For them, dreams become goals when they take action. At ECPI University, we see students realizing their dreams every day.
 
Here, our students take control of their professional futures through daily, disciplined regiments of dedication and hard work. They know there are no shortcuts. By taking full advantage of the resources at their disposal, they are setting goals and making dreams come true. Here are three students who’ve done so in spectacular fashion. ​
