Health Care is all about Expanding our Partnerships
A Pathway to Paramedic at Fort Jackson When the United States Army Training Center (USATC) and Fort Jackson sought to maximize the medical readiness of the 68Ws stationed here in Columbia, S.C., Midlands Technical College was eager to honor that commitment by providing them a pathway to specialized training.
The 68Ws, or Combat Medic Specialists for the United States Army, are responsible for administering emergency medical care in both combat and humanitarian situations. This year, Midlands Tech, the USATC, and Fort Jackson came to an agreement that will see MTC provide soldiers with training that will serve as a bridge from Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) to Paramedic. The training will last approximately six months.
Earlier this year, MTC’s AEMT program became the first program in the nation to attain a letter of review from the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP).
“As the state’s first Purple Heart College, MTC has a proud tradition of supporting our service men and women,” said President Little. “Providing nationally recognized training for our combat medics continues that work and reinforces our commitment to support veterans, active-duty members, and their families.”
Lex1 MedStart In February, Lexington One and Midlands Technical College announced a partnership with Lexington Health to create pathways that take students from high school to full-time employment as surgical or radiologic technicians.
Dually enrolled sophomores began taking college courses with the promise of employment at Lexington Health starting senior year. That includes continued learning at MTC after beginning employment and a year of tuition reimbursement.
Prisma Health and the Midlands Youth Apprenticeship In August, a group of Richland School District Two students took part in the Midlands Youth Apprenticeship (MYA) signing day, joining Prisma Health as Nursing Support Assistants. In addition to earning college credit, the students began paid positions that will get them hands-on, real-world experience at Prisma Health.
The MYA signing day event has become an annual celebration of new apprentices across multiple industries including health care, advanced manufacturing and skilled trades, and STEM.
Apprenticeship programs and targeted career pathways can allow students to start their careers during high school then continue their education at Midlands Tech and beyond. That’s what drives our continued investment in these programs every year.” - Dr. Greg Little, MTC President
