On #NationalFirstRespondersDay, we recognize the firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMTs, paramedics and other emergency personnel who serve and protect our communities every day. 🚒🚓🚑
At MDC, we’re helping prepare the next generation of first responders through our School of Justice, Public Safety and Law Studies and our Emergency Medical Services programs. From training at our Fire and Police Academies to hands-on emergency medical training, our students develop the skills to respond to emergencies, save lives and keep our communities safe.
Today, we thank all first responders, including the many MDC alumni serving across South Florida, for the work they do every day. 💙🦈

Thank you to Commissioner Henry Mack for spending time with our Lake Nona High School students today and seeing firsthand the incredible opportunities available to them. We appreciate your support of OCPS!
Today, Commissioner @HenmackIII visited @lakenonahigh and saw firsthand the amazing work happening in @OCPSnews schools.

For young adults looking to build a career, on-the-job experience can be just as valuable as a classroom education.
Registered apprenticeships help make both possible, combining paid, hands-on training with industry-recognized credentials and connections to long-term career opportunities.

Today, we’re celebrating the people who run toward the emergency when others need help most. ❤️🖤
From the law enforcement officers and firefighters who protect our neighborhoods to the EMTs and paramedics who care for our loved ones in their most vulnerable moments, our first responders make a difference every single day.
At NWFSC, we’re proud to play a part in preparing the next generation of these dedicated professionals. To those serving our communities and those training to answer the call, thank you for choosing a path of service. Our communities are stronger because of you!
