{"A":"Shenandoah County Public Schools","B":"Shenandoah County Fire and Rescue\/Shenandoah County Public Schools Partnership","C":"Shenandoah County Public Schools partnered with Shenandoah County Fire and Rescue (SCFR) to provide an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program at Triplett Tech, the division’s career and technical school. SCFR provides an instructor and makes equipment available for the course. The school division provides space and additional equipment.     The EMT program prepares students to provide prehospital assessment and care for patients of all ages with a variety of medical conditions and traumatic injuries. At the end of the course, students will have the skills and knowledge needed to pass the state test to obtain their EMT certification. Currently, over 50% of the class has already begun volunteering at local stations.     Employment of EMTs and paramedics is projected to grow 11% from 2020 to 2030 (US Bureau of Labor Statistics). As the population continues to grow in Shenandoah County and the surrounding area, the need for these services will increase.
