Description

Lansing Community College has announced a new First Responder Apprenticeship program partnership between the college’s Health and Human Services Division (HHS), the Lansing Fire Department, and Capital Area Michigan Works! (CAMW). The apprenticeship program will address a critical shortage of emergency medical workers in the Capital region by providing existing firefighters with Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) training through Lansing Community College's EMT Academy, greatly increasing the services they can provide. The EMT Academy is offered to apprentices for free through a DOL Strengthening Community College grant and Workforce Development Institute funds.
