Brooklyn Workforce Innovation's Red Hook on the Road helps unemployed New Yorkers who already have their Class D license start new careers in commercial driving. Following four weeks of classroom and behind-the-wheel training, students take the New York State Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) road test. Once graduates are licensed, they are placed in a job with BWI's network of employers.
