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

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.
