IN THE NEWS: PUBLIC SAFETY/FIRST RESPONDER TRAINING

The Pennsylvania Commission for Community Colleges urges the inclusion of funding in the 2025-26 state budget for community colleges to support non-credit public safety/first responder training. 

This funding ensures police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and other first responders receive state-of-the-art training to protect Pennsylvania’s communities and supports recruitment and retention in this critical field by addressing the growing demand for skilled public safety professionals.
