\"\"As part of its Health Careers Initiative (CHCI) program, Cooper University Health Care, in cooperation with several community organizations, is now offering a new program for students interested in becoming emergency medical technicians (EMTs).<\/p>\n

The Cooper EMT Training Program, developed in partnership with the Camden County Board of Commissioners, Camden County One Stop, Camden County College, Camden County Workforce Development Board, and Hopeworks, will provide low-cost, comprehensive training for an entry-level career in emergency medical services. Some applicants, who meet certain criteria, may qualify for tuition-free training. In addition to providing career opportunities in a rewarding field, the program will also help meet the strong demand for qualified EMTs in the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis program provides access and opportunity for students who are interested in becoming EMTs,\u201d said Rick Rohrbach BSN, RN, CFRN, CCRN-K, MICP, EMS director of Air and Ground Services at Cooper University Health Care. \u201cWorking in emergency medical services is an incredibly rewarding career. At Cooper, we are excited to meet and mentor the next generation of EMTs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hopeworks and Camden County Technical Schools will serve as the recruiting and administrative partners to identify qualified applicants for the program.<\/p>\n

“Hopeworks is so excited to continue to deepen our partnership with Cooper University Health Care to build more opportunity for Camden’s young adults,” said Dan Rhoton, Hopeworks executive director.<\/p>\n

The inaugural class begins July 17 at the Joint Health Sciences Center in Camden. After completing the necessary coursework to obtaining the EMT certificate, graduates of the program can participate in an optional 120-hour clinical tour with Cooper EMS. There will be a rolling admission to the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is exciting to launch another great program where we offer career opportunities to community members, specifically careers with great benefits and opportunity for advancement,\u201d said John Steiner, dean of Math, Science and Health Careers at Camden County College. \u201cIt has been a team effort to create this class curriculum and we look forward to creating additional career pathways for students.\u201d<\/p>\n
