Emerge Career Steps Up to Support Students During the Government Shutdown
As the government shutdown continues to impact families across the country, many Americans are struggling to make ends meet—especially with SNAP benefits temporarily withheld starting November 1, 2025. With Thanksgiving around the corner, Emerge Career is stepping up to make sure our students can keep food on the table during this challenging time.

For the month of November 2025, Emerge Career is offering $300 to any student who earns their Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), which is completely free to obtain through our CDL Training Program. This special promotion is designed to help offset food costs during the holiday season and provide extra relief for our students who are feeling the impact of the shutdown.
We know times are tough, and we believe in showing up for our community when it matters most. This is our way of ensuring that no one has to choose between pursuing their future and putting food on the table.

Graduate Testimonial: Building a Better Future
“Before Emerge, I was stuck in a cycle of low-wage jobs and couldn’t see a way out. I got my CDL through Emerge Career for free, landed a great job within weeks, and now I’m earning more than I ever imagined. This program didn’t just give me a license—it gave me my life back.”
— Marcus, Emerge Career Graduate
