Investing in Our People Through Training and Education
We understand that an investment in our people goes beyond just a paycheck. At J.B. Hunt, we recognize the importance of supporting programs that promote training and development, upskilling and education.
This commitment goes beyond the walls of J.B. Hunt extending to the families of our people through programs like the Scholarship Program for Families, Adopt-a-Class for drivers and a university collaboration.
See how we support our people and their families through a variety of unique programs that can have a big impact on growing your career and sharpening the minds of the future.
Training and Development
Your career shouldn’t be the end of growing your knowledge but the beginning. At J.B. Hunt, it is part of our culture to be a place of learning, where big ideas are welcomed and answers to tough questions are found.
Our dedicated Training and Development team has helped put together in-person training courses that allow our people to grow their leadership, interpersonal, efficiency, innovative expertise. These in-person trainings are accompanied by hundreds of LinkedIn Learning and Workday courses focused on topics ranging from technical and transferable skills to people and professional skills.
One of our Engineering and Technology Managers, Carl, says the continued learning opportunities are part of what keeps him here. “The culture at J.B. Hunt is one of learning, it's one of trust, it's one of listening and it's also one of growth. They make sure that we're taken care of, and they do the things to make sure that we can be successful.”
J.B. Hunt Scholarship Program for Families
Our commitment to supporting our employees extends to their families, too. Through Scholarship America, the J.B. Hunt Scholarship Program for Families provides financial assistance to dependent children or grandchildren of J.B. Hunt employees hoping to attend college or vocational school programs.
Last year, we were thrilled to award scholarships to J.B. Hunt families. Applications are open annually each fall, and all full-time employees who have been with the company at least one year are welcome to apply.
“The J.B. Hunt Scholarship gives my family and I an insight into how much the company cares for its workers,” shared Jenny, a scholarship recipient. “For a company to be helping its workers and their dependents in this way really shows how much the company is willing to do for its employees.”
