About the Site Profile
The profile is one of five available for the first responder departments and training providers that were selected for the First Responder Workforce Diversity Study, based on both the extent to which their first responder workforce is representative of the local population, and their use of practices that align with the human resources literature as being effective for developing a diverse workforce. The Bay Area Youth EMT (BAY EMT) program was selected to participate in the study because of its unique approach to increasing diversity as a third-party training provider.
