This program will provide you with the essential knowledge and skills needed to provide safe care for those who require support with their activities of daily living.  Those requiring support may be recovering from an illness, surgery or live with a chronic health challenge that limits their ability to completely care for themselves.  Certain groups, such as the elderly, are able to maintain independence when they are supported with their activities of daily living.

Career Opportunities

Graduates may find employment in the long-term care or home care sectors.  Graduates who are interested in pursuing the Personal Support Worker program will receive some advanced standing after completion of this program.
