The Confederation College is now accepting applications for the new and free Personal Support Worker (PSW) program.
The province of Ontario provided province-wide funding to have 6,000 students enrol in a six-months accelerated program. Prior to this, students would need eight months to complete the PSW program. Successful applicants will be given funding support for textbooks, a paid work placement and be spared the burden of tuition fees.
This was done in collaboration with Colleges Ontario to have the provincial government provide $115 million to train new PSWs to support the high demand for jobs in the health and long-term care sectors. This is part of the provincial government’s Long-Term Care Staffing Plan, which is a large driver of the PSW recruitment in the province.
