Company offers free course twice annually; course scheduled to begin in September
Mohawk Ambulance Service announced that applications are now being accepted for its free EMT Training Course beginning this September. The five-month course, which is administered twice annually, is offered free of charge to qualified applicants, making it possible for a candidate to become certified without having to make a large personal investment.
Interviews are now being scheduled from Aug. 1 through 3 and on Aug. 6. Interested parties can submit an application for consideration at www.mohawkambulanceservice.com/careers. The class meets an average of twice per week – one classroom instruction and one in-field instruction session per week. Sessions begin Sept. 7, running through Feb. 14, 2019, at Mohawk’s training facility at their station at 570 Central Avenue in Albany.
“Mohawk Ambulance Service established a thorough orientation program to ensure our high standards for excellent emergency medical care are consistently provided by all of our team members,” said James McPartlon, III, president, Mohawk Ambulance Service. “We’re pleased to continue offering a route into the EMS industry for talented individuals who may not otherwise have the means to pursue a career in the field.”
Since the creation of the course in 2016, Mohawk has started to integrate some of its orientation process into the EMT program, streamlining onboarding and training to place skilled medical providers in the field more efficiently. Four past course offerings have produced 34 New York State Certified EMTs with the majority becoming gainfully employed at Mohawk Ambulance Service.
