ACEMS extends pact with Hocking College amid weak job pull
Athens County Emergency Medical Services will renew its year to year contract with Hocking College for the EMT Paramedic Certificate Program despite only two graduates applying for county EMT or paramedic roles last year. Director Rick Callebs cited pay gaps, competition from nearby counties, and a young pool of students as factors, while commissioners urged better pay and advertising to attract recruits.
