It sounds like yes he could definitely use a driver's license. But the most important thing will be getting more comfortable speaking English and talking to people he doesn't know. Those are really two different things.
My job has me work in a manufacturing and shipping setting. We have 40-50% immigrants working there and they are from all over the world. English fluency ranges from very good to very poor. So yes those jobs definitely exist. I've worked with them as coworkers, as their leader, and had some as leaders.
I had one employee who was was telling me he was struggling with his English. He spent most of his time with his ethnic group and felt very awkward and quiet outside of it. His English was actually fine, we could speak with little problem. He had a moderate accent and sometimes had to stop and think about how to say what he wanted. So I gave him two pieces of advice. 1) Smile and say hi to people. 2) Asking a question gives people a chance to talk. Well about a week later he came back to me very happy. He said it was hard the first few times. But most people smiled back and said hello. And when he asked questions his coworkers were happy to answer him, and it had led to a few good conversations. By the next year (I was there seasonally) he was really part of the group. He was a good worker, well liked, and his accent had lessened.
So I'd say to your husband pretty much the same thing. Smile and say hello to people in stores, in the neighborhood, cashiers, etc. Don't take it personal if they don't respond much, they might have a sick kid at home or be busy. It's impossible to know what they are thinking. If you are open and friendly with people they will be with you. Actually using the language with a lot of different people is what will get you to improve.
