Dispatcher

As a dispatcher, you’re the calm in the chaos—handling high-stakes communication, multitasking, and critical thinking under pressure. These skills transition well into supervisory roles, emergency management, tech support for public safety systems, and more. While many jobs rely on experience alone, higher-level positions may benefit from certifications in emergency communications, CAD systems, or a degree in public safety, communications, or emergency planning.
