Creating and Refining a Fire Academy: The Role of the Training Officer

Monday, April 07

If your training academy has been stripped of all the cultural values that make great firefighters, or if your department never had them to begin with, this workshop is for you. It wraps the key cultural aspects of brother/sisterhood into your training curriculum, from the most important historical origins of the fire service to modern disciplinary processes for recruits to develop model firefighter behaviors. Attendees will leave with HR-friendly turn-key examples that they can take back and implement immediately.
