Clark County, NV builds local EMT and paramedic talent pool with academy pilot program

Clark County, NV EMT Paramedic Talent Academy Pilot Program

County officials allocated $2.4 million in federal funding for a 15-month training academy. A month-long, entry-level track provides first-hand exposure to the profession for career-changing professionals. A four-week advanced track and one-year paramedic track offer additional training for existing EMTs or those who complete the first track. Participants receive $800 stipends every other week. The county's Office of Community and Economic Development anticipates 150 pilot participants.
