2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / ABSTRACT (1/2 to 1 page)

Problem / Need: Massachusetts and New Hampshire continue to face sustained demand for certified emergency medical personnel as call volumes rise, the population ages, and EMS systems experience persistent recruitment and retention pressure. EMT and Advanced EMT training programs must maintain rigorous, hands-on instruction standards while keeping pace with changing clinical protocols, simulation technology, and compliance requirements. Without added training capacity and modern equipment, prospective students in outlying and underserved areas may face limited access to high-quality, field-ready instruction, contributing to workforce shortages and slower staffing recovery for local EMS agencies.

Target Population / Sector: Primary beneficiaries include new EMT candidates, incumbent EMS personnel seeking upskilling (including Advanced EMT pathways), and the EMS and public safety sector across Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Secondary beneficiaries include local communities served by EMS agencies that depend on a stable pipeline of competent, confident entry-level responders.

Proposed Solution: AD Quality EMS Training, INC. will expand training capacity and improve instructional quality through a second training site in New Hampshire, upgraded simulation equipment, mobile training capability for outreach delivery, and strengthened instructor staffing and professional development. The project pairs growth with governance by reinforcing standardized policies, legal review, insurance coverage, and financial controls so expansion occurs without compromising student safety, instructional consistency, or regulatory compliance.

Key Activities: - Establish or renovate a second training site in New Hampshire to increase regional access and support multi-state delivery. - Upgrade simulation tools (advanced manikins, trauma kits, digital training aids) and create mobile training capacity for community-based instruction. - Expand instructor staffing, implement mentorship incentives, and fund continuing education to maintain small student-to-teacher ratios. - Conduct targeted outreach and enrollment marketing in new regions while offering community CPR/health events to build trust and awareness. - Strengthen compliance infrastructure through policy legal review, standardized disclaimers, and expanded liability coverage.

Expected Outcomes: Graduation capacity increases toward a long-term trajectory of 500+ graduates per year across multiple states, with improved readiness for field placement and employer satisfaction. Access improves for learners outside core service areas through an additional site and mobile delivery. Instruction quality and student success increase through smaller class sizes, modern simulation, and a structured mentorship culture. Operational risk decreases through strengthened legal, insurance, and compliance systems that support sustainable growth.

Funding Request & Duration: $175,000 over 24 months to support facility expansion, equipment upgrades, instructor development, outreach, and operational safeguards that stabilize the program during growth.

3. STATEMENT OF NEED / PROBLEM STATEMENT

Problem Description: EMS agencies rely on a steady pipeline of competent entry-level providers, yet training capacity and accessibility often lag behind workforce needs. High-quality EMT education is inherently resource-intensive: it requires specialized equipment, adequate classroom and skills-lab space, appropriately credentialed instructors, and strong quality assurance systems. Programs that grow without strengthening infrastructure can risk inconsistent student outcomes, avoidable safety incidents in skills labs, and compliance gaps that jeopardize partnerships and reputation.

Who Is Affected: The most direct impact is on prospective EMT students and incumbent providers in Massachusetts and New Hampshire who need accessible, reputable training options that prepare them for real-world EMS demands. Rural and underserved communities are disproportionately affected when training options require long travel, inflexible schedules, or limited seat availability. Fire departments, ambulance services, and municipal EMS systems are affected when staffing pipelines cannot keep pace with retirements, turnover, and increasing service demands.

Current Gaps: The region needs expanded training seats, more flexible delivery models, and increased use of modern simulation to improve competence and confidence before field entry. Growth into New Hampshire and expansion into Advanced EMT offerings require additional facilities, equipment, and instructor bandwidth, plus standardized governance documents and insurance coverage to support ride-alongs and community partnerships. Without a planned reserve and upgraded financial tracking, enrollment seasonality can create operational strain during expansion.

Consequences if Unaddressed: If training access and capacity do not expand, EMS workforce shortages persist, overtime burdens increase, response systems face greater fragility, and communities experience reduced resilience during emergencies. Students may also face fewer high-quality pathways into stable public safety careers, limiting upward mobility and local workforce development.

4. PROJECT GOALS & OBJECTIVES

Overall Goal: Increase EMS workforce readiness and training access in Massachusetts and New Hampshire by expanding AD Quality EMS Training, INC. capacity, modernizing simulation, strengthening instructor staffing, and implementing governance and compliance safeguards that support sustainable multi-state growth.

Specific Objectives (SMART):

Objective 1: By the end of the project period, AD Quality EMS Training, INC. will establish and operationalize a second training site in New Hampshire, increasing available training seats and reducing access barriers for students in the region.

Objective 2: By the end of the project period, the program will modernize its skills training environment through the purchase and deployment of advanced manikins, trauma simulation kits, and digital training aids, increasing hands-on simulation capacity and strengthening field readiness.

Objective 3: By the end of the project period, the organization will expand instructor capacity and maintain small student-to-teacher ratios by hiring additional instructors and funding professional development and mentorship incentives to improve student retention, completion, and job readiness.

5. PROJECT DESCRIPTION / PROGRAM NARRATIVE

Project Overview: AD Quality EMS Training, INC. is a Massachusetts-based EMT education provider built around professionalism, hands-on instruction, and community values. The proposed project scales that model into New Hampshire while strengthening the instructional backbone that keeps outcomes consistent. The expansion includes an additional site, higher-fidelity simulation equipment, and mobile training delivery for outreach-based instruction in communities that may not have nearby training options.

Approach / Strategy: The project is designed to grow responsibly. First, it increases capacity through facilities and equipment, because hands-on EMS education cannot be scaled safely without adequate space and training tools. Second, it invests in instructors and mentorship because student success in EMT education depends heavily on coaching, feedback, and skills remediation. Third, it hardens governance and compliance (policies, disclaimers, insurance, financial controls) so expansion does not create unmanaged risk.

Key Activities: - Facility expansion: lease or renovate a second NH training site suitable for classroom instruction and skills lab requirements. - Equipment upgrades: procure advanced simulation manikins and EMS training aids, and refresh trauma kits and digital learning tools. - Mobile training: develop mobile training capability to deliver CPR workshops, introductory EMS exposure, and satellite skills sessions. - Staffing and development: hire additional instructors, support continuing education, and implement mentorship bonuses tied to student support. - Outreach: execute region-specific marketing, attend community events, and host community CPR/health workshops to build enrollment pipelines. - Governance and compliance: finalize a Code of Conduct and Consent Policy with legal review, standardize disclaimers, and expand liability insurance for new locations and ride-along partnerships. - Operational safeguards: create a 3 to 6 month operating reserve and enhance accounting systems for timely margin and cash-flow monitoring.

Innovation / Best Practices Used: The program emphasizes high-touch mentorship rather than high-volume throughput, a model aligned with best practices in skills-based clinical education where repeated deliberate practice and feedback improve performance. The use of modern simulation supports scenario-based learning that strengthens decision-making, communication, and psychomotor skills before clinical exposure. Mobile training expands access and reduces geographic barriers while strengthening community trust and recruitment.

Alignment with Grant Priorities: This project aligns with common government grant priorities focused on workforce development, public safety readiness, community access to training, and equitable service delivery.
