I am currently a Comms major, going into my senior year. I'm looking for some hands-on experience in the comms field, but not super sure what specifically. I am interested in PR, editing, internal comms, healthcare, community service, education, etc.

Ideally I would find some sort of remote/hybrid job or internship with a comms department at an organization. Currently looking into American Red Cross or something adjacent

I am doing an 8 week EMT-B course this summer as a junior in college. I am a full-time student with 1 year left before I graduate. I plan to get my EMT cert after this course and want to apply the knowledge ASAP so it stays fresh in my mind. My goal directly following grad is to be an EMT, but during this next school year I can't work.

Should I still be contacting EMS companies and showing interest even though I can't work for another year? What other ways can I still get EMT experience and maintain EMS connections during the school year?
