Hampton City Fire Department, is offering an opportunity for students to be eligible to be hired by a fire
department as fire fighter trainees upon graduation from high school. This would also require the successful
completion of EMT-B (see page 25). This course meets the sequential elective requirement. This new program
includes the opportunity to earn both the Fire Fighter I and II certifications through the Virginia Department of

will be removed from the program. Due to the strenuous physical activity involved in Fire Fighter all students
will need to complete a physical exam with a physician using a New Horizons form. This physical must be
completed by August 1. Students who are not recommended for entry by a physician will not be able to enter
this program. Also, students must be 16 years old on the first day of class (no exceptions). Students must have

with Public Works or Utilities, or a member organization of the Public Works Academy. Students that

good attendance; 3) Maintain their Career and Technical course average of a 'C' or better; 4) Complete a
summer internship; and 5) Display good work ethics. If these conditions are not met, a student will be

WHY ATTEND NEW HORIZONS CTEC?
Reasons to attend New Horizons Career and Technical Education Center vary with the students who are
asked. Many students who enter the programs have definite career goals in the area in which they enroll.
Other students are “trying on” a career field to determine if they have the interest and ability to be
successful. Many others prepare to financially support their college careers by working in their career
and technical field. For whatever reason students attend New Horizons CTEC, one message to them is
clear: high school is not the end of learning! The employee of the future must be committed to keeping
pace with technology. New Horizons and local colleges assist students to continue learning through a
life-long learning process.

under the supervision of both that employer and New Horizons CTEC. This experience is reserved for
