Help transform someone's life and uplift your community.
As an Emerge Ambassador, help bring Emerge Career’s free job training opportunities to those who need it most in your community. For every person that you refer that gets their CDL permit, you'll receive $150 as a token of our appreciation.
What's Emerge Career?
Emerge Career offers free CDL Training to individuals who have experienced incarceration, parole, probation, or arrest. We don't just help people get their CDL. We help them get employed. Our government-funded program connects participants to in-demand trucking careers and lifts them out of poverty through skills-based training and job placement.

We're constantly working to expand our programs. At this time, we have active training programs in:
Massachusetts (state-wide)
New York (New York City)
California (Sacramento County)
How It Works
Get access to our Ambassador Dashboard and follow the progress of the people you refer throughout their entire journey with us. Get paid as they progress through the process of becoming a CDL truck-driver.
