Zum, which was recently awarded a $30 million, five-year transportation contract from Santa Barbara Unified School District (SBUSD), will host a third hiring event for school bus drivers 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday, May 14 at Courtyard Marriott, 401 Storke Road, Goleta.
Zum is hiring 46 school bus drivers to serve Santa Barbara students beginning in the 2024-25 school year.
The job fair is open to certified drivers, as well as anyone considering a new career as a school bus driver. Zum pays for training and certification for those not yet certified.
Advanced training and certification programs include extensive ongoing training in transporting students with diverse needs and disabilities.
Zum offers competitive wages, guaranteed hours and modern benefits for all drivers and staff.
“We have been busy building our team of bus drivers in Santa Barbara ahead of the 2024-2025 school year, and we look forward to meeting existing drivers and those looking for a new career at this event,” said Ritu Narayan, Zum founder/CEO.
“Drivers are at the heart of what we do at Zum, and we’re excited to deliver safe, reliable transportation to this welcoming school community,” Narayan said.
Anyone interested in driving or who knows someone interested that cannot attend one of Zum’s hiring events can apply here.
