MOU status: DoD MOU current through January 23, 2028.

What these labels mean

MOU active: An MOU is the agreement between an employer and the SkillBridge program. When it expires, the employer has to renew it before it can take new service members.
MOU expires soon: The agreement ends within 90 days. That is not a reason to rule a program out. It is a reason to ask the employer where the renewal stands.
MOU expired: The date on the government listing has passed. We still show the program, because hiding it would shrink this directory in a way we could not explain. Confirm status with the employer before you apply.
MOU date not stated: The government listing carries no expiration date for this organization.
Detailed listing: The employer filled in most of its record: length, delivery method, eligibility, and a description of the work.
Partial listing: Some of those fields are filled in and some are blank.
Sparse listing: Very little of the record is filled in. That is common, and it is not a judgment about the program or the employer. It does mean you will have to ask them more questions directly.

Summary

If selected, the member will go through the onboarding process with other new-hires as a recruit in the Academy. The Academy runs for approximately six weeks, Monday through Friday, 0800-1700. The Academy classes up four times per year, typically in January, April, July, and October. The Academy covers all aspects of onboarding, including HR, policies, and medical protocols. After completion of the Academy, the member will enter into the Field Training and Evaluation Program (FTEP), where they will be assigned to a regular shift, partnered with a Field Training Officer (FTO), and treat patients at the level they are credentialed at. The length of the FTEP process is dependent on the needs and abilities of the individual provider, typically ranging from two to six months. A SkillBridge intern may complete the FTEP process during their internship, and progress all the way through a Release-to-Practice oral board with the Medical Director, resulting in becoming an independent and cleared provider in the Wake County EMS System. SkillBridge interns who do not complete the entire process will be allowed to pick-up exactly where they left-off, if they decide to return as an employee after transitioning out of the military. Military medical personnel who do not already hold a valid NREMT certification may obtain their North Carolina EMS credential through the NCOEMS Military Equivalency program. The TCCC – Combat Life Saver (CLS) does not meet the minimum requirements for an EMT credential. Military personnel without a medical background may still be admitted into the internship, but must complete an EMT course and obtain a credential prior to the start date. For any questions about either process, please feel free to contact us. https://linktr.ee/wake.ems.training

Eligibility

Must obtain EMT or Paramedic licensure prior to start.

What the work involves

Wake County EMS is a cutting-edge emergency medical services system that is responsible for providing EMS services throughout Wake County, including within each of the county’s 12 local municipalities. We are a department of the local government and a 911-only system. We do not complete interfacility transports. We have well-developed mobile integrated health (community paramedicine) and research programs. EMTs and Paramedics are the primary providers of prompt, compassionate, and clinically excellent emergency medical care to the sick and injured residents of and visitors to Wake County. Every one of our EMTs and Paramedics are expected to function as clinicians and providers of emergency medical care. They are responsible for the operation of emergency vehicles, biomedical equipment, and other equipment necessary to provide patient and situational assessment in an emergency setting. A successful candidate is someone with a high level of communication and problem-solving skills. This candidate is expected to understand scene management and be able to effectively operate within an Incident Command System (ICS). The successful candidate will also be able to demonstrate the ability to calmly and effectively work in high-stress and emotionally charged situations. After completing the Recruit Academy, personnel will be assigned to a set shift. We offer 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-hour shifts. Assignment will be based on Field Training Officer (FTO) availability and the 40-hour work week limitation of the SkillBridge program.
