We strive to make The Wonderful Company true to its name through our mission to bring positive, multi-generational change to our communities by leveraging our business acumen and hands-on approach to Corporate Social Responsibility. Our work aims to disrupt the cycle of poverty in the Central Valley of California through a relentless focus on the social determinants of health with an unwavering commitment to helping the region's children grow up with better opportunities than their parents had. 

Job Description

The Wonderful Career Center (WCC) is offering a free Powered Industrial Truck (PIT) training program to the community members of Shafter and Kern County.  PIT graduates can use their certificates of completion to help launch their careers into potentially higher-paying roles with companies like the Wonderful Business Units and our Wonderful Logistics Center Partners. However, we cannot promise that the program will lead to employment. *

Program Description

The PIT program is an unpaid, free training program.  Trainees are taught the basics of forklift training through lectures, videos, and hands-on activities.  Graduates are awarded a certificate of successful completion through Bakersfield College. We are looking for individuals with life or work experience in problem-solving who are not afraid to work with equipment or technology.  If you are willing to learn and work hard, this training is for you! 

*This is an unpaid, forklift training certification program and does not guarantee employment or a higher-paying position.
