Career Opportunities
CPR And First Aid Instructor
Every time a layperson can save a person experiencing a respiratory or cardiac emergency, due credit goes first and foremost to the CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and First Aid Instructor who trains and makes sure their clients can perform emergency aid when the situation calls for it.
Paramedic
“Next to creating a life, the finest thing a man can do is save one.” Paramedics are out there every day, literally just a phone call away from anyone who needs them.
Ambulance Driver And Attendant
The word ambulance comes from the Latin “ambulare” - to walk, a reference to early medical care where a wheeling cart was used to move injured patients. While many things have changed since then, Ambulance Drivers and Attendants remain the first line of defence for the injured, sick or convalescent service as they lift and transport patients to the hospital for medical attention.
Firefighter
Firefighters save more than homes when they respond to emergencies and protect people, the environment and property from all types of accidents and emergencies; they save hearts, memories, and dreams.
