Hats off to the Ontario government for investing over $1.3 billion to increase wages for personal support worker, to provide a high level of care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Currently, The Ontario government is investing up to $100 million to add an additional 2,000 nurses to the long-term care sector by 2024-25. The government will do this by supporting the training of thousands of personal support worker and nurses who want to advance their careers in long-term care. As the program co coordinator of the Medical programs at the Academy of Learning Brampton, I have personally forged alliances with several local Long term care facilities and Retirement communities and assisted living centers.

Why should you do the program now?

• Growing career opportunity: COVID-19 has increased the need for health care assistants in long-term care and assisted living services. Approximately 34,400 personal support worker positions will be open nationwide before 2026.
• Government funding: Normally, to become a health care assistant, you must complete six to eight months of post-secondary education at your own expense before you can apply for a position. Now, with up to 100% government funding, the government pays for your diploma.
• Qualified education: New hires in the program start in a health care support worker position and receive paid training that leads to full qualification as a Personal Support Worker (PSW).
• High paying: On an average, a Personal Support Worker receives $19-$28 an hour and is considered as one of the “highest paying jobs” in Ontario.
• Employment benefits: Employers offer reliable employment with competitive salaries and benefits. Benefits may include a pension plan and medical, dental and extended health care coverage.
• Emotionally Rewarding: Passionate and caring health care workers make a difference in their communities every day. Creating an environment that fosters and values diverse skills and lived experiences is a goal of the sector.
• And much more…
