RHINELANDER – Nicolet College is set to host a pair of free summer academies for teens ages 16 to 18 who are interested in exploring careers in public safety.
The academies will be held at Nicolet College, 5364 College Dr., Rhinelander.
The Criminal Justice Teen Academy will be held from Monday, June 16 through Thursday, June 19, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day.
During the academy, teens will take part in hands-on activities, such as K9 demonstrations, traffic law, emergency first aid and specialized teams and tactics. Teens will also participate in scenarios to immediately apply their new skills, according to a release from Nicolet.
The Fire and Emergency Services Academy will run from Tuesday, June 24 through Thursday, June 26, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day.
Nicolet said hands-on activities in this academy will include search and rescue scenarios, hose lines and extinguishers, emergency first aid and moving in full turn-out gear. Teens will also visit the Rhinelander Fire Department and Aspirus Howard Young Medical Center in Woodruff.
“These careers attract people who want to make a difference in their communities and keep their families and friends safe and healthy,” said Jason Goeldner, Associate Dean of Public Safety at Nicolet College. “We need young people who are ready to step up for their communities, and summer academies are a great place to start to see if they have what it takes.”
