EMT Training Program

Newport Community School boasts a successful history of collaborating with the Department of Labor and Training (DLT) to offer workforce training and development programs for underserved populations on Aquidneck Island. Building upon this collaboration, Newport Community School's Aquidneck Island Adult Learning Center (AIALC) program, in partnership with the Newport Fire Department, addresses the critical healthcare industry workforce shortage by training, supporting, and hiring local Rhode Islanders for entry-to-mid-level healthcare positions through Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) training.
