Ogeechee Technical College and the city of Statesboro recently entered into an agreement that will facilitate a Firefighter I program to train those seeking to enter fire service. Offered as a credit program through Ogeechee Tech, the program is a collaboration that will serve the needs of both the College and City. "This program will mutually benefit both entities because students completing the program will receive academic credit from Ogeechee Tech with a cost savings for the city, and the college will be able to utilize specialized equipment and facilities which are already in existence at the Statesboro Fire Department without having to purchase the same items for use in training through the college," said Ogeechee Technical College President Dr. Dawn Cartee.
