TORONTO, March 14, 2022 /CNW/ - The Ontario government recently announced financial assistance opportunities for Ontarians who wish to pursue a Personal Support Worker (PSW) career. This $54.7 million funding will be available to up to 4,000 new PSW students, who will enroll at a participating private career college between June 1 and September 30, 2022. Eligible students can receive up to $13,690 to cover their tuition, books, other mandatory fees, and a wage stipend for their clinical placement.
"We are excited to participate in this Ontario Government initiative to support increasing capacity within Ontario's healthcare system," said Stuart Bentley, President of triOS College. "triOS College has actively trained and graduated thousands of PSW students into new careers and works closely with Long-Term Care and Home Care partners to ensure students receive practical hands-on training and experience to become job-ready graduates."
In the 31-week Personal Support Worker program at triOS College, students will hone their clinical and administrative skills. The program includes a 12-week placement, where students will gain hands-on experience and apply the theories learned in the program. Upon completion of the program, students will be prepared to look after patients / residents and assist with their daily living, including dressing, bathing, and managing their medication. The triOS program allows students to safely and conveniently attend classes remotely over the Internet in the comfort of their own home — or wherever they prefer — and then complete their placement in a participating long-term care facility in Ontario.
Aside from being a promising career in the continuously growing healthcare field, working as a PSW also provides the freedom to select desired workplaces. PSWs can choose to work in a long-term care home, hospital, home care, or retirement home — or be their own boss as a self-employed worker at clients' homes.
