Massive Personal Support Worker Shortages = a Career Opportunity to Make a Difference

Canada’s population aging and in need, healthcare worker shortages, government’s recognition of the issues and financial commitment to support, and a wage increase to stimulate change – a dire situation that creates incredible opportunity for those looking to making a difference.

If you’ve ever had a calling to provide care to those who require assistance due to aging, disability or illness, there has truly never been a better time to pursue a career as a personal support worker (PSW).

According to Statistics Canada, “seniors could represent between 23% and 25% of the total population in 2036”, and a CBC article reported that, “Ontario is projected to be short 33,000 nurses and personal support workers by 2028”. The government has responded with a 1.7 billion-dollar pledge for a PSW wage increase. With these projections and commitments, for those with a passion to pursue this field, the essential question is …

“Where can I receive my PSW schooling, from a college with a quality reputation, quickly?”.

Here’s What You Should Be Looking for in a PSW Course in Canada?

• An in-person PSW course or an online PSW course in Ontario with a hybrid learning option, so that you have hands-on training to ensure you have the knowledge and confidence to launch you career.
• A quality program taught by experts in the industry, so that you receive relevant and up-to-date knowledge of what this career requires.
• An opportunity to apply your training in the workplace with potential employers.
• At a college with a reputation for excellence and graduates who not only gain employment but are respected within the industry.
• And a program that offers you all this … within 1 Year, to get you started working, faster.
