CHAMPAIGN, IL (Chambana Today) – Listen up, future heroes! The Champaign Fire and Human Resources Departments have teamed up to kick off the 2024 firefighter recruitment process. If you’ve got the guts and the grit, applications are now open at the National Testing Network through September 13. This isn’t just a job; it’s a calling. The testing process will wrap up with the 2025-2027 Entry Level Firefighter Eligibility List, which is set to get the green light from the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners in February 2025.
But wait, there’s more! In a move to shake up traditional recruitment strategies, the fire department is rolling out an Adult Fire Explorers program. This initiative aims to boost the diversity of qualified applicants, making sure our team reflects the community we serve. Fire and HR staff are hosting a virtual Recruitment Information Meeting through Zoom on Tuesday, July 9, at 5:30 PM Central Time. Don’t miss out—join the meeting here.
