Does anyone know the best course of action to help a newly immigrated person without experience get drivers trainin.

I'm a supervisor at a major retailer and one of my crew is a guy with an amazing work ethic and a better heart. Since our hours were changed I've been staying an hour late every night to drive him home. He's a guy who sends almost all his money home to his daughters in his home country for their private school. He's so humble and tells me every night how he wants to get his license so he doesn't have to bother anyone. All I had to do was go to a couple classes and lessons with my high school science teacher so I'm clueless as to how an adult, much less a poorly educated immigrant with almost no access to transportation outside of me and his one cousin who he lives with, gets this accomplished. we're in the area south of Boston. He's from Jamaica and Grew up extremely poor and has a very hard-to-understand dialect for most. Thought this might be the place to get some good advice.

1. Have you googled drivers training schools in your area? Copy/Paste this or just click it.

Remind him to invest in himself, too, or he can't help his daughters.

2. Most ethnic groups

Have drivers training done by people who speak the language and can provide te training. First step is to get him through the written (computer) test to get his learner's permit. Then get him road time with a driver's school he is comfortable with. Since Jamaicans speak English with a bit of patois language shouldn't be a problem for him. I managed to get four Vietnamese speakers through the process and they are all driving today.

3. 1st thing is to make sure he has the

necessary ID. The 2nd is to go to DMV and get a manual for him to study for him to get his permit.Then I would take him for a drive in an empty parking lot, so he can learn the gas, brakes, and controls of a car and their purpose. As you are driving him, point out the different signs and what they mean. Let him know why you are doing certain things.

My youngest will be getting his permit soon, so I have been pointing out the whys. Like last night, I picked him up after practice and it was pouring rain here. I let him know why I was driving slow and why I let off the gas when I saw water accumulation on the road.
