The next generation of professionals who’ll respond to emergency situations were honored with a pinning ceremony during the final week of their two-year program at Southwestern Community College.
Elijah Kennedy of Franklin, Kaitlyn May of Franklin and Kobie Brooks of Sylva all received their pins at the event, which was held on May 15 on Southwestern’s Jackson Campus. Scott Buchanan of Sylva was unable to attend the event, but also graduated from the program and will be entering the profession.
All graduates are eligible to take state and national certification exams, and they can find employment with providers of emergency medical services, fire departments, rescue agencies and a wide range of other employers.
SCC is now accepting applications for prospective EMS students. For more information, contact program coordinator Eric Hester (828.339.4277 or ehester@southwesterncc.edu).
