Two Work-based Learning students, Amhir Campbell and Yana Davis, received the privilege of advancing their vocational skills with an advanced training transfer into the EMT program at Grafton Job Corps center. Both students are exemplary students and ambitious young adults.

Amhir enrolled in the Medical Office Support program at LJCC, and finished his work so quickly and efficiently that he was soon after placed into Work-Based Learning internship. Due to his interest in an EMT program he was matched up with Aroostook EMS Region 5, an EMT training facility, where he received tremendous praise for his work ethic and positive attitude. They were so impressed with Amhir that they invited him to participate in an EMS “moulage,” for which he assumed the role of an injured patient. Local EMT students then mocked treatment on volunteers like Amhir as a final test to obtain licensure.

Yana, originally a native of Russia, came to Work-Based Learning internship by recommendation of her career counselor, after she had completing the Loring Job Corps Certified Nurse Assistance (C.N.A.) program. She performed administrative and event-planning duties for the Caribou Chamber of Commerce, and represented Loring Job Corps as a special guest at Caribou’s Annual Recognition Dinner.

We at Loring  Job Corps Center were pleased to be apart of Amhir  and Yana’s endeavors before continuing their technical training opportunities that will begin in June 2012 in the EMT program at Grafton Job Corps Center in Massachusetts.
