Are you a Veteran looking for a rewarding civilian career? DSW’s new apprenticeship program, Project Open Road, features a highly profitable, paid, on-the-job training to become a professional truck driver. It’s a smart way to make the most of your GI Bill®** benefits. While you’re working for DSW, you will receive monthly VA educational benefit paychecks on top of your DSW checks. It could mean over $1,000 extra each month, depending on your length of service and benefit eligibility.
Your dedication to service combined with your valuable experience makes you an ideal driver. We’d be proud to add you to our team.
