As a recent graduate of the Earn While You Learn program that was started by Hunter’s Ambulance earlier this year, Jalyar Robbins is now working as a certified EMT for Hunter’s.
“I sent them my application and my resume. I received a call two days later for an interview and I was like, this is great,” Robbins explained.
Robbins, along with five others, was part of the first group to graduate from the new and innovative program, which was started as a way to help combat the shortage of EMTs due to COVID. The pandemic caused the delay or cancellation of EMT and paramedic programs until schools reopened – causing a ripple effect across EMS systems.
