Firefighter’s ABC’s Offers internship program to Alliance network
9/10/2010
Firefighter’s ABC’s
, an Alliance partner since 2009, assists fire departments through the Firefighter Diversity Recruitment Council across the U.S and Canada in recruiting diverse young people to become prepared, motivated, successful firefighter recruits. To do this, Firefighter’s ABC’s works with high schools to recruit high-need and high-potential students into their online internship program. Participants in the program receive tips and resources on how to prepare for a career in firefighting, such as courses to take in school and life skills that will prepare them for the world of work.
This online internship program is designed to allow students in 9-12th grades to participate. Firefighter’s ABC’s strongly encourages schools to include girls and boys equally, as well as to reach out to those students that may have not shown an interest in the fire service thus far.
Firefighter’s ABC’s is generously offering a promotion to high schools in the Alliance network to apply to become partner schools at no cost to them. The organization will provide internship opportunities to up to 24 students at the first 10 high schools per state to apply.
