YES Programme

Students from the YES Programme undergoing training with the Emergency Response Team around setting up the mobile response centre and stretcher recovery.

 

As well as this they are taught radio use and how the EOC ( Emergency Operations Centre ) functions in an emergency response.

 

Eight weeks of experiencing various emergency services is culminated in a weekend exercise where they get to put into practice what they have learnt.

 

They can then opt to volunteer for a 6 month term with the emergency service of their choice.
