The EMT and Beyond program is designed to help high school seniors earn their Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Certification while also providing career exploration in other areas of Public Safety such as Firefighting, Paramedic or Dispatch. During this half-day, one-year program, students will build a foundation in emergency response and receive guidance and support toward continuing education or a career.
An EMT is one of the first responders on the scene who provides the first line of pre-hospital care.
