DISCUSSION•
The Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, U S Department of Labor, provides funds for local
apprenticeship training and on-the-job programs In Texas, the firefighter apprenticeship program
is funded through the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and administered by Amarillo
College The intent of the program is to teach a set of standardized skills to firefighters across
the Country Funding is based on the number of enrollees in the program and the number of
contact hours received by each enrollee Approved expenditures of apprenticeship funds include
instructional salaries, instructional materials/supplies, instructional equipment, rental, office
supplies, postage, and travel
The Fort Worth Fire Department enrolls each newly trained firefighter in the three-year program
after their graduation from the Department's Training Academy Each participant is required to
complete a written lesson and become proficient in a particular firefighting skill each month of
the three-year lesson cycle The lessons and skills are taught by each fire station officer, and
each participant is evaluated every six months by Training Academy staff
The funds appropriated will be used to purchase two computers and two scanners to be used
by the Training staff One of the computers will be used by the Emergency Medical Services
(EMS) Division Captain for tracking and recording Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) courses
and hours, lesson plan development, and training program development The second computer
will be used by the EMS Division Lieutenant for tracking EMT skills examinations, developing
lesson plans, and tracking grade averages and test scores for recruit class members The
scanners will be used for developing lesson plans, and for scanning apprenticeship documents
and lesson plans
