B ut for the Fire Protection

cent in 2006 to 8.5 percent in
2008.
In 2005 A frican A m ericans
made up ju st 1.7 percent o f the
fire fighting trainees, which went
up to 2 percent the next year, and
then down to 1.5 percent in 2008.
Asians and Pacific Islanders rose
from 2.1 percent of the tire sci­
ences students in 2005 to 2.2
percent the next year, and then
dropped to 1.7 percent in 2008.
Native Americans rose from less
than one percent in 2005 to 1.3
percent in 2(X)8. Hispanics de­
clined from 5.2 percent to 4 per­
cent in this time period.
W om en students in the fire
sciences program also dropped
slightly between 2005 and 2(X)8
from 10.1 percent to 9.1.
PCC did not have num bers
for its Em ergency M anagem ent
program because it’s in its first
year, and d id n 't get num bers for
its
E m e rg e n c y
T elecom m unicaitons/911 D is­
patch program by press time.
“ I think sim ply the w ord is
n o t g e ttin g o u t,” sa id C aro l
B ru n eau , an in stru c to r w ith
PC C ’s Em ergency Telecom m u­
n ic a tio n s^ ! 1 D ispatcher pro­
gram.
Jacki Cypher, the lead para­
m edic instructor, said that get­
ting into her program is “very
rigorous,” and is often m ore dif­
ficult than becom ing a regis­
tered nurse. She noted that her
program attracts a very specific
type o f person, who has worked
for years in the medical field and
has their sights set on becom ­
ing a param edic.
W hen asked if her program
w as doing anything to div er­
sify its program , she responded
that it w asn 't because the pro­
gram attracts a very narro w
group o f people.
“It’s an equal playing field,"
said C ypher o f the people who
enter the program . “We d o n ’t
care if th e y 're male, fem ale, or
anything about them as long as
they can do the jo b .”
M any o f the skills taught at
PCC in em ergency services are
expected to be in high demand,
pay decent, and offer opportu­
nities for advancement. For in­
stance, the dem and for E m er­
gency M edical T echnicians is
expected to ju m p 19 percent be­
tween 2(XX> and 2016, according
to the Bureau o f Labor Statis­
tics.
But som e program s at PCC
are h aving tro u b le attractin g
candidates. Robertson said that
th e sc h o o l d o e s n 't p ro d u c e
enough 911 dispatchers, which
start out earning $19 an hour,
to fill demand.
“We ju st c a n ’t crank them
o u t f a s t e n o u g h ,” s a id
Robertson, who noted that she
h a s h ad 4 0 to 6 0 s lo ts she
co u ld n 't fill.
But in other program s, the
com m unity college is having
the opposite problem . Since the
Sept. 11, 2(X)I terrorist attacks
and Hurricane Katrina in 2(X)5
there has been a surge in de­
mand for people with training
in em ergency m anagement, and
the college has had to w ait-list
people for its program .
