Program helps EMT hopefuls get on the job experience
OXFORD – The Americorps Rural Health Service Corps is offering a program that helps members of the community who are interested in EMT training and job experience.
Heather Sherwood, a resident of Norwich, began participating in the program this past November in order gain work experience in her chosen field. The program’s only stipulation is a six-month EMT certification course.
“She’s a very bright girl and it’s great having the extra person on duty at the station,” said Fire Chief Mike Cobb.
Danielle Berchtold, director of the rural health service corps, said the program is an excellent way for young adults to participate in a learning experience while earning an educational scholarship award which can be used for either federally backed student loans or other educational expenses.
“Her job is to work very closely with the department members and help them do their work more efficiently,” said Berchtold.
She went on to say that the amount of Americorps opportunities is rising and she hopes to garner more support in the future.
“We really want to get more community involvement ... to get everyone more active and to spread the work about all of the great services Americorps provides,” she said.
Berchtold explained that the project is run on funding form the NYS Health Foundation, which supports the education of young adults and the volunteers in the health services industry.
