Good news for those looking into be a Personal Support Worker.
Fanshaw is now offering an accelerated program to help meet the growing demand for PSWs in our region.
The accelerated program is available for domestic students and features a condensed schedule that will allow students to graduate with an Ontario College Certificate in only six months.
Students will study in a blended delivery including online courses and in-person practical experience.
Students may volunteer at long-term care homes and other settings early in the program and will also take part in a paid work placement in the final three months of the program.
The accelerated PSW program will cover students’ tuition and expenses such as textbooks and other supplies.
Applications are now being accepted at ontariocolleges.ca and classes begin June 6.
The program will be offered right here in Norfolk, as well as several other Fanshawe campuses.
