City of Minneapolis issued the following announcement on Feb. 19.
Have you ever wanted to be a part of the emergency medical services? Apply by March 2 for the Minneapolis Fire Department’s EMS Pathways Academy, a 12-week paid internship to become an emergency medical technician (EMT). The course begins in April.
This is a rapidly expanding field. It is necessary to fill EMT positions with qualified candidates who reflect the multilingual and culturally diverse communities they serve. This is the fifth year of the program, and so far 85% of the graduates have been people of color and 48% have been female.
Emergency medical technician certification opens the door to many career paths. More than 35 graduates of this program have been hired as Minneapolis firefighters. Many more have been hired as EMTs and dispatchers. There may even be an opportunity to further your education and become a paramedic.
