Becoming an EMT will enable you to get work experience while you are in college and subsequent summers

If you’re a NJ resident, then your EMT certification will allow you to serve with your local corps during breaks, but also pick up shifts near New Brunswick, once you get a feel how much time you can set aside during the year.

There are private ambulance companies that cover underserved towns, hospitals that have BLS services (even if just for transfers/transports), and even some county-wide “mutual aid” EMS services. Some will be every flexible, allowing you to sign-up to shifts on an irregular basis, or just for contracted “special events” (such as staffing testing centers).

Especially in the summer there are sleep-over camps, township “Recreation Department” camps, sport leagues, etc. that look for trained personnel.
