The Community Foundation of Greene County is pleased to announce it has awarded over $13,000 to the Greene County Career and Technology Center (GCCTC) from the Campbell Family Fund to support the Emergency and Medical Services Program (EMS).
The EMS program trains the next generation of EMS professionals while they are still in high school, providing students with the opportunity to earn their EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) certification before graduation. The Campbell Family Fund will provide uniforms for EMS students, including tactical pants, job shirts, polo shirts, and create Greene County CTC EMS patches to look professional while doing hands-on training within the Emergency Medical Field.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Campbell Family for this wonderful opportunity for our EMS students,” said Natalie Goodwin, Learning Support Faciliator at GCCTC. “Providing our students with professional uniforms helps instill confidence and a sense of pride in their work while they develop the skills needed to serve their communities in emergency medical situations,” said Dan Halliday, Emergency Medical Technician Instructor at GCCTC.
The Greene County CTC provides hands-on training through 11 Career and Technology Programs to the five sending school districts. Mark Krupa, Director, said, “We are building future generations of the workforce and have students even working in cooperative educational placements within Greene County. Through partnerships with local businesses and organizations, students gain real-world experience and develop industry-relevant skills. Our programs emphasize both technical and employability skills, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for immediate employment or further education. By fostering career readiness, Greene County CTC plays a vital role in strengthening the local economy and workforce.”
