Description

The New England FOOLS and MA Fire District 8 are proud to partner and present: Kids These Days: How to Win Friends and Influence Firefighters “Kids these days” is a commonly uttered catchphrase adults use in frustration when the younger generations do things differently than they once did. It is also used in the fire service when the new firefighters behave differently than they did during the “good old days.” This program draws upon changing educational techniques and experience to give attendees the tools to train and communicate with the newer firefighters. Straight from Firehouse Expo, the presenters will discuss generational divides and success stories for managing these challenges. They will draw on experiences from the audience, both positive and negative, and work on solutions for Millennial and Gen Z instruction and leadership. This will be held on Thursday October 13th, at The Manor, 42 W Boylston St, West Boylston, MA. There will be a social hour from 1700-1830, with the presentation beginning promptly at 1830. There will be a cash bar and light fare available.
