Gwinnett Tech’s campus in Alpharetta is growing.
Not in sheer size, but in the courses and opportunities the school is offering.
The technical college announced Thursday that it would be expanding its Emergency Medical Services program to the Alpharetta-North Fulton campus. Beginning this fall, on Aug. 14, students will be able to take courses in the program in Alpharetta instead of driving to Lawrenceville for classes.
D. Glenn Cannon, the school’s president, said in a statement that it was always the plan to expand this program to the Alpharetta campus.
The Emergency Medical Services program is designed to help train students to safely respond to and provide emergency medical care to those in need. The program has a 100 percent National Registry Paramedic exam pass-rate and a 100 percent job-placement-rate. According to the Metro Atlanta Chamber, 30 percent of all job openings in metro Atlanta are in the healthcare field.
